   I don't have a problem myself. (And the cabin doesn't have Internet.
I just see wifi nearby if I run a computer.) I have no trouble making
calls because I live near a city. I was only pointing out that up to
1/3 of the country doesn't have cell service at home or even in
the neighborhood, and they're not likely to in the future. Perhaps my
brother could get wifi calling over Musk's satellite dish, but then that
also wouldn't work if he wanders too far from the house. And it won't
work in much of the area where he lives. It's a different way of life in
the country. Landlines are critical. Cellphones are impractical.
