“So, you are saying whether the person is able to use the internet or not, they will need to pay for broadband to have a house phone! ”
Not exactly: the physical lines will (most likely) remain in place, but instead of running analogue services they will be digital. As Steve points out, the copper wire technology is an old system. In other countries where they have invested in their communications networks, copper has largely been superseded by fibre. This opens up the possibility for much faster and more flexible services, for both data and voice communication, as was eloquently explained by Steve. It does not mean that people will be forced to buy a PC and learn how to program it.
