>one of the major reasons wireline is in such difficulty is that wireless is eating its lunch on voice and is killing its long distance business which was a major source of earnings.>

Are you sure? Most business is done with wireline phones. And business accounts for the large portion of the total local and long-distance market. It is overcapacity and competition that is eating the long-distance market. Wireless, in fact, allows you to mark up the long-distance rates in comparison to wireline rates.

The Baby Bells monopoly on the copper wire infrastructure is what is protecting them, not their brilliant management or technological innovation. Therefore, in-state per minute rates are twice that of state-to-state long-distance.
