I guess I've been in the same place, though I don't know what you mean by
a pretty good clip. It's true one of the cellular operators in a city is
non-wireline. It's also true that in a few high density areas, there have
been companies to skim off certain business accounts. But i'd have to
believe less than 1% of US phones have any choice in dialtone provider.
Do you have data different from that?
