Wireless will canibalize fixed-line. Started already when telcos are pulling out public telephone booths because people don't use them anymore. New generation of people that has got their first mobile phone fromm their parents to keep checking out, will grow up to never need a fixed line. Further, the guys who more likely abandon a fixed line are the ones that spend more than USD100 in their telephone bills. The ones that spend below USD25 are the ones more liley to hold on to their fixed line Good customers to wireless . Bad customers in fixed. Slowly this will make fixed line uneconomic. Then operators will start porting their fixed subscribers to wireless (the so-called fixed/mobile convergence) and that will spell the end of fixed line. Like here in Prague I seee old tram tracks below the asphalt, this is the future of copper cable.
