| Hi-
I am a TV producer in Connecticut looking for people who use their
mobile phone as their sole phone... instead of having a landline in
addition to their mobile phone.
If anyone knows of someone in Connecticut who's doing this, please drop
me a line at josh.fialkoff@nbcuni.com.
Thanks!
-Josh

No offense, but isn't this kinda old news? I "cut the cord" back '99.
Of course recent events forced me to get DSL for broadband and now I
have a landline, only I have it on the lowest billing tier (doesn't even
have "touch tone" dialing much less any other features) and I don't use
it for anything.

A better TV report would be to expose how phone companies rip customers off
by forcing them to use home phone service even if they only want DSL.

Here in Philadelphia, Verizon recently began selling "Naked DSL." No local
POTS line required.
Have you checked to see if your local telco has recently changed its tariff
on this?

| My daughter did the same thing in Boston suburbs this January. Verizon DSL
in her apartment w/o land line. Cost is $19.95/month for DSL 768k down
/128k up. They assign a local number but it has no phone. I did test it
and there is a dial tone, but didn't try to dial. Her contact number with
Verizon uses the Wash DC area code on her cell phone.
Neither of my two kids have had a land line since 2000. Same cell phone
numbers and between them they've lived in DC, Arlington VA, Vienna VA,
Redondo Beach CA, Bristol RI, Watertown MA.
Another point - both of them have people with "open" WiFi routers that they
can connect with. One takes advantage of the free internet. The other
subscribes to DSL and I've locked down the WiFi on her router pretty tight
so she doesn't share the bandwidth unknowingly.

It sounds awesome until you find out the price. More than regular DSL
plus the lowest cost land line service.
