Greetings Pat, I was wondering if you, or any of your readers, had any comments regarding the explosion of cellular telephone services, such as follow-me roaming, etc. that could *possibly* make a land line obselete in some situations? If I was on the road a lot, I think I would prefer just to use a cell phone so that I could be reached at one number no matter where I am, home, next area code, or across the country. And, as the cost of the equipment and services decline -- hopefully -- over the years, this technology may extend into non-business situations, much like FAX service has extended from the business world into the home. Maybe the cell phone expansion will be the back way into the universal telephone number?? Well, just some thoughts. Regards, Bill Gundry Hitachi America, Ltd. - Semiconductor & IC Div.
