Bye Bye land-line?

AT &T recently asked the Communications Commission for relief from regulations that require it to maintain an analog wired network. The former Ma Bell said in the filing that land line use had dropped 42% from 2000 to 2008. Just wondering when I will have to give up my land line? My DSL is tied in with it. I would have to switch my internet connection to cable, and I am hesitant about that, since they seem to raise their rates every other day. Does this mean that my cell phone number will be open to solicitation, fund-raising, donation requests?
