That's great for people with land-line phones and who regularly use phones to talk to people they know.

For a ton of people, I'd bet most people on HN, phone is a medium of last resort, used exclusively for emergencies, delivery drivers, and grandma.

A landline phone, at $10 a month, is a pretty decent investment for anyone who spends a lot of time at home. I almost exclusively only take interviews, meetings, etc calls from my landline, solely because of call quality issues!
