As Phone Companies Dismantle Landlines, Utilities Have a Lesson to Learn

[question everything]

1. There was recently a story about a city along the Jersey shore

don't remember the name - where the phone company, Verizon, I think, decided not to rebuild the land line. And how it is going to affect many, mostly senior citizens.

We do keep our phone line. Not only that, one of the extension is the old handset from the 80s. Not connected to any electronic device thus that it works when we lose power.

There was a major power disruption several weeks ago. Several supermarket were operated on auxiliary generator and... many came to the store to charge their cell phone.

I hope that the day you describe is far in the future.
