I do not understand.

Overhere many do use landlines, ADSL, for telephone and internet.

Yup we better say something, to at least slow it down.

My prognostication of 'why' eliminate landlines is because the mosquitoes

(greedy, lying, bloodsuckers that be), want to control absolutely everything,

and the well being of us and other life on this planet is of no concern

whatsoever.

If you've been watching/listening in US news about the light cubes, it is only a

matter of time, maybe a few years if we're lucky, before it's all switched over

to 4G, and people will be carrying their own little portable masts.

I gather this is making headway in some of Europe also. Same duck, different

leg.

(Unless they find a way to make that tech. stop interfering with the current

setups, it could take a while, but some city is rolling it out this year to

try.)

Then again if there is a massive power outage, from say a CME or some other

source, they just roll it out as the new and improved standard while replacing

equipment. The better to fry you with my dear.

Obama has said recently the whole country is going to be covered with a wireless

grid. Well, I found the plans for that some years ago, so he's just repeating

what was already in the works.

Eventually you will just be chipped, voluntarily of course.

So definitely we need to comment on this.
