The End of POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service)

Last night I had Christmas dinner with my neighbors.  Their mother's friend, a 94 year old ex miliary man commented to me that he has decided to cancel his land line and just use his cell phone for all his calls.  Most folks in the industry have realized that 20-somethings were going totally wireless, but I don't think many of us truly believed that many 65+'s were making the same move.  But, they are.

The end of POTS is upon us, and it's going to die an even quicker death due to the emerging competition between Apple (iPhone) and Google (Android) and 4G networks.  Just ask any 94 year old....
