Headline: Goodbye landline, hello coax

Nutshell: Full high-speed communication with no more local or long-distance carriers over telephone lines.

Vision:

Full VOIP will account for most if not all the phone communication. Also, all software will be internet-based and will require subscriptions instead of being sold in stores or boxed packages. All software will be internet-linked and will eliminate piracy.
