WiFi Cell Phones?

Everyone who is familiar VoIP (voice over IP) knows that with different VoIP service providers you use your Internet connection substitute a LAN line phone and also get free long distance for a low low price. Skype is taking the next step and introducing WiFi cell phones.

"The phones feature integration with your Skype contact list, up to three hours of talk and 50 hours of standby time, and the NETGEAR handset also features support for WEP and WPA, so you're not just limited to open networks"

Great for college kids on campus. Whats next, instead of cell phone towers we will have WiFi across the nation. Sounds cool, but LAN based phone companies could crumble and then we would all have to use cell phones or nothing.
