All I want to know is, who is going to PAY to keep the landlines running when all that's left are a handful of extremely remote customers who have no other options?
Rural customers pay the same as urban customers, yet the cost to bring service to a single rural customer is many many times what it costs in the city, due to the distances.
In a city, you would have dozens or hundreds of customers in a single building. Suburbs would have 100-200 customers per mile. Out in the rural areas, you can have miles and miles between customers.
The landline customer base is shrinking. The price is not rising proportionately for the remaining customers, to what it would cost to properly maintain the system. Something has to give.
Sooner or later you're going to have three choices:
1. Lose landline service.
2. Pay more, a LOT more to keep it.
3. Demand that the government pay to maintain the landlines.

This is the place! Bought
