VoIP. Is Phone by Wire Nearly Dead?

Hard wired phone lines. Just how long will we have them? And just how many metres of cable are there on those big pictured cable drums?

    Does this mean any third world dictator with a nuke or two could bring the whole of europe to a grinding halt?


    With IP based systems they don't need a nuke; they can do it with Telnet. 

    Not just the phones: the electricity, gas and water distribution, the traffic lights and smart motorways, air traffic, rail signalling, containerised freight ... 


    However it's great if you're working from home. Or working from your holiday home but want the boss to think you're still working from home-home.
