Anyway, even in the best case scenario, Fixed Line is a dead business...there will be zero growth (actually i am sure it will be negative. The only reason why there was very limited line growth in the past decade was because of the extra POTS line needed for all those dial-up internet cutomers....
Wireless will replace large chunk of wired phones OVER TIME.

If wireless wants to take over, it best improve the quality of its phones, its access to long distance lines and the quality of that service, provide stand alone voice mail coverage and solve the need to recharge. When and if that happens, wireless may replace a large chunk of hard wired lines. Otherwise, you're whistling Dixie.

so WCOM is abandoning the growth market to a dead market -- go figure.

It seems you're far more clever than WCOM. You might want to call and give them your thoughts.
