In almost a humorous sense of irony, AT&T is asking the FCC to kill landlines for good, despite having troubles maintaining their current cell phone network, according to Cult of Mac. AT&T's past arguments have been the large influx of iPhone users has had a negative impact on data congestion.
"With each passing day, more and more communications services migrate to broadband and IP-based services, leaving the public switched telephone network and plain-old telephone service as relics of a by-gone era," AT&T stated. "It makes no sense to require service providers to operate and maintain two distinct networks when technology and consumer preferences have made one of them increasingly obsolete," they continued.
While AT&T certainly has a point, one still has to wonder what it would mean for their cell phone network, if all landline users had to make the jump to the cell phone.
