Okay, I always like to start with something interesting, and this totally hits that target.

I don't know if you know this, but the FCC removed the requirement for local phone companies

to provide analog pots lines, landlines, at competitive rates.

So what that means is that all that whole error is totally gone.

And so if you have a landline, if you know somebody who has a landline, they should totally

look at their prices because without the FCC regulation, they're just going to be jacking

those prices up.

They say double, triple, maybe even 10 times, that's right, the cost that you're paying

right now for a regular analog line, which I'm sure some people are saying like, hmm, what's a landline? What is that? Why do we even need that? You know, my seven-year-old nephew showed me with pride the telephone that he just made. It was a string in two cans. And I pulled out my iPhone. I said, you know what? Oh, and that's really nice. But look what

kids your age make in China. This is what they do. I know. And you see, ladies and gentlemen,

just an example of all the fun that we have here with Tech Refresh at your weekly fun, show about
