I cancelled my landline when ADT offered to upgrade my security system to GSM for free. I cancelled my Verizon TV once I got Roku HD / Netflix. Now all I have is a FiOS internet connection and I'm very happy. Finally, I'm at a point where I no longer rely on any of the traditional media/communication technologies.
I listen to music on my iDevices using Zumocast (streamed over 3G/Wifi from my home PC). I have unlimited Netflix on my TV/iDevices and so does my wife. I don't have to sync my music or videos anywhere. I drove from Florida to Utah and back this past fortnight and I was able to stream my media almost everywhere (except Chaco Canyon, NM). I took a 3 mile trail down the Grand Canyon and was streaming music from my home PC. Technology is finally where I want it to be. And hopefully, things will continue to get better.
