[LINK] Peter Cockrane, futurologist... *cough* predicts the death of land lines

[Fernando Cassia]

 Peter Cochrane, a futurologist, predicts that landlines will be
replaced by wireless technology, as soon as optical fibre is put in
all office spaces.

"The public switch telephone network will be closed down, it's about
as relevant as morse code. Optical fibre will replace landlines and
most devices will connect using wireless. But the landlines can't go
until there is wireless connectivity to replace it. There won't be
wireless connectivity to replace it until there is optical fibre
available to offices and homes in sufficent density"

Gee, perhpas mr. futurologist doesn´t know that installing fibre
doesn´t mean not having land lines, quite the contrary, fibre can
carry lots of virtual ´land lines´? and what about the cost of calls
to the PSTN from land lines vs mobile phones?

And then there´s the issue of call quality, network reliability (or
lack thereof) of wireless (smartphones) vs land lines.... (even
virtual land lines over ftth)
