No Future for Phone Company Wired Phones
Old school wired phone service (known at POTS lines) is certainly destined for the technology graveyard. And for those people who still use them, you are likely to find your prices continuing to rise on this. As it moves closer to full legacy status, fewer resources will be put into it and naturally prices will go up. This would go on until such time as it becomes no longer available.
There are two reasons why the phone company wired service market is deteriorating: Wireless and VOIP. Most people are choosing the flexibility of wireless service over wired service. Still others who don’t mind tying their phone service to their computer can choose a VOIP service like Lightyear’s X-STREAM VoIP. VOIP services like X-STREAM cost at least half of what the local phone company will charge for its standard wired residential service. For people who still prefer a wire, this can be a great way to save money on phone service.
But most people will want a wireless solution like the ones Lightyear Wireless provides. Either way, the future does not look bright for phone company POTS.
