There will also no doubt continue to be many customers for whom dial is the 
only option.

It's not long ago that I lived in such a house, deceptively close to the 
outskirts of town but in terms of wire distance and load coils it might as well 
have been on the moon. The house was in a wireless dead zone by a river, there 
was no cable, and the only line of sight to another structure was through 
several acres of 2.4GHz-absorbing trees.

The further you move away from urban centres, the easier it is to find examples 
of this.
