> Many people reading this are too young to remember analog local phone calls, and how the lag from cell phones changed conversations

Is there somewhere to read about the changes in question?

I'm old enough to remember extensive use of analog landlines, and can't really think of any difference to a cellphone other than audio quality.

In my world, using regular cell service (not VoLTE), seems nearly as instantaneous as I remember analog lines. I remember how hard a satellite phone call was and I never have that much latency in a call.
