13. In the rural parts of Texas where only landline service is available

The service is horrible because of the lack of preventative maintenance. As soon as any cell site goes up the people grab on to it in, yes, desperation and at a higher cost, and drop their landline service. This particular phenomenon has little to do with Millenniums. What you say has truth to it but the carrot of smart phones etc will be soon followed by the whip of unregulated monopoly. I'm retired and may not live to see the end game but I certainly see where it is going.
