Does mobile technology make land lines obsolete?

Fixed landline telecoms business is a dying industry. It is not dying this year or even this decade, but it has stopped growing and has started to die. In total users households are increasingly abandoning fixed landlines in favour of mobiles. Total voice traffic in fixed telecoms is shifting to VoIP - services like Skype with free, or near-free voice minutes.

Worldwide in 2003 the total number of mobile phone subscriptions grew ahead of the total number of fixed telecoms subscriptions. This year, 2005, the total mobile telecoms revenues have exceeded fixed telecoms revenues.
