Hmm, I'll take that bet. People that make these types of claims
obviously haven't been in areas where you can go for more than 40 miles
with no cell service, on a major highway, not to mention getting off the
beaten path to individuals homes. Some times it really is more
economical to string copper than put up towers.

Worldnet founder: Copper landlines gone by 2013
“By 2012 [there will be] no more reason to use our landlines--so we
won’t,” Evslin wrote. “I don’t think the copper plant will last
past 2012. The problem is the cost of maintaining and operating it
when it has very few subscribers. Obviously [it’s] a huge problem for
AT&T and Verizon. And an important social issue as well.”
