said by Simba7:said by 25139889:asa they should be able to get away with dumping pots and moving it to a new technology. the copper lines are 60+ years old in most areas, and need to be replaced anyway. So why spend the $$$ and replace them when you can move those customrs to a wireless technology? I've been saying for YEARS that smart companies would get rid of the last mile networks and move to wireless. ITS CHEAPER and easier to maintain.
BAD IDEA. I can easily see multiple cell towers getting overloaded if everyone switched to this.
Sure, replacing copper is a no brainer.. But we need to replace copper with.. FIBER! Having everything wireless is a recipe for disaster.
Not to mention the spectrum needed to handle this endeavor would be enormous.
Good idea.
