Wireless Phone Companies Soon Free to Woo Landline Competitors

The FCC is taking up discussion of forcing wireline telcos to make phone number portability mandatory, as they’re now forcing wireless carriers to. The decision would go a long way toward making it possible for wireless phone companies to solicit business from landline customers, and accelerate the already precipitous decline in wired subscriber growth already so prevalent a trend within many demographics.

Face it… it’s just easier for most people to get a wireless phone they can always be near and ditch their stodgy old corded phone. Good story from Mercury News.
