Well, if this is a "nonstory," I'll be happy. Killing landlines
would be a nuisance for most of us, a real hardship for some of us,
and a bonanza for the phone companies.
But while we're at it, we might ask why the cellphone service in this
country mostly sucks, why you can't use iPhones with any carrier, and
why there are more sophisticated cellphone services (like cellphone
banking) in the third world, than we have here in the U.S.

This is one of the worst trolls I've seen on the list in a while. Not
quite as bad as Tom's RAID rants, but right up there. ATT hasn't
petitioned anyone to do anything, they were just answering an FCC
query. Even when you were called on it and asked to provide links, you
still didn't apologize for misleading everyone, although you must have
read the story again a few times.
In fact there's really no news here. As the articles state, we're down
to 1 in 5 households that only have a landline, and that number is
dropping all the time. When, not if.
