Is fixed line telephony over? When I call to someone's cellular from home, a not unusual advice I receive is "do not please call to my cellular; do use my phone at home". So mobile to mobile calls are inexpensive whereas fixed to mobile are not? Is this so in Britain? In the US?
Anyways in my country fixed to mobile is sensibly more expensive than fixed to fixed. So I could infer that the telephone company is not interested in balancing the situation, and even worse, that they encourage the use of mobile telephony. At home, I don't see the point. In the street, I like to carry with me as few things as possible, sometimes, not even my wrist watch.
Another issue. Watches. In the street: Could you tell me the time? And he looks at his phone and says: A quarter to eight. But his time I know its terribly inaccurate. They could have adequate time keeping in their small systems if only they hanged from some internet time service (almost all mobile devices have internet today). But they do not give it much importance. Even wrist watches can be inaccurate if the owner does not care about precision. I keep mine to within one second of official time.
