Frank,

Just wondering here. Wouldn't the role of the PSTN be easily mimicked in the future behind corporate data switches seemlessly connecting to Centrex style systems for businesses and behind headend servers for HFC systems that would provide one or two channels for voice, and behind antennas for wireless last mile providers, thus eliminating the role of the current ILECs and the present PSTN architecture? I can think of a lot of scenarios like the ones above that could replace/obsolete the present twisted pair-adigm. I just can't engineer one. But I believe I could hire it done.

Seems to me that we are using the PSTN for the last mile because of its ubiquity, not because of any inherent superiority.

Sorry, not too technically savvy, but at least it's a shot at it.

Best, Ray
