New generations embrace a technology. Older generation dies out. It is not about technology. It is demographics. No kid learns how to type in a typewriter, no new secretary learns how to operate a telex machine, no engineer learns how to swap plug ins in a HP frame to line up microwave equipment. Kids learn how to use a PC. Secretary learn how to use a PC. new engineers know their stuff through the screen on a lap top and never has to turn capacitors and coils to align a demodulator of a microwave radio link. Fixed lines will be idle by 2017 (I have this year in my mind but it can be even earlier than that). Those Central Offices will be providing communications for faxes, 0800 and 0900 nrs. PABXs of airlines. Telcos will be using their old weapons: Who you're going to use to call 911 unaware that 5.7 billion people doesn't have 911 and they are not clamoring for it (ok it will be nice to have though). By 2017 the real estate where those central offices are standing will be more valuable than the equipment inside and they will be dismantled. The kids used to go to school with backpacks. They become adults and they go to the office with backpacks!! Te kids cut their hair in spiky hair style. I meet them as managers and they have spiky hair styles! I guess the girls like that and they are comfortable with the spiky hair style. I reckon if they don't find spiky hair and a back pack to come to the office, they don't find ridiculous to have a contraption hooked to their years. You see, there's nothing to do with technology. It is all about new generation of consumers and users. When I said ADSL was dead no one believed me. It is like a fly or mosquito. It is alive but only for 24 hours!!!
