It is very likely that in the past couple of years, you have heard people say that the telephone is the least important aspect of their mobile phone. We even make jokes about it, saying things like, “Oh, and it also makes phone calls!” We complain that our mobile plans are too heavy on the phone minutes, and too light on the high-speed data. It is as if we think that life would be so much better if the plain old telephone service would just hurry up and die.
