And replace them with what, cell phones? Currently there remains several parts of the state where cell phone reception is abhorid. I would hate to have to rely on emergency services using a cell phone in these areas. I don't see why landline service needs to be replaced as some internet services, frontier being one, still use the phone lines for there service. I can see why AARP is against this bill. I am 55 years old, am computer savey, yet am relunctant to use, nor do I own, a cell phone. What is the service/cost difference between landlines and its replacement?
