I thought it was an outrageous statement to be made myself. Figured it
might be good for list discussion.

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.”
