An authority on internet communications is quoted on the site suggesting that few people will give ip their traditional phone service for Skype. ...How could one do this anyway, since you need a phone line to access the web in the first place? ...No phone line = no phone sevice at all,-no???

  The folks with broadband Internet service from their cable companies do well without any phone lines. And DSL companies will, before too long, let people order "naked" DSL, which is broadband without a telephone number for a normal phone. The copper pairs from the telephone company will still officially be a phone line, but not phone service.
