proof of ID than a cellphone. The lamdline is registered to -- and
wired to -- a physical address.

of 2025  - there will only be VoIP.

Hardly ever read so much nonsense. We know Newyana does not have a cell phone but he or she wants to have a big mouth in technical groups discussing mobile technology.
For you: IP-telephone lines are landlines. Landlines are not what you think they are. The backend is even in the UK ip-based for years.
Here in Switzerland VOIP/ip-endpoints are mandatory since 2017.
