You send a message thru "watsapp" to a friend overseas thousands of miles it feels as though you are communicating with somebody via wifi but actually you're not because the most powerful wifi signal distance is only less than 100 meters and that's without obstacles like buildings walls etc ... with these obstacles it goes down to less than 50 meters. Instead what's happen is there is a server somewhere with a "forum" like setting and your watsapp is "logon" to that forum and you are sending messages your friend on that server, it's like you try to PM somebody on valuebuddies same concept.
without fiber optic all the wifi in the world will have zero signal essentially be dead you will not be able to access to netflix via wifi the singtel fire demonstrated this, when it happened the internet for half the island went totally dead.
no the line isn't obsolete but it's become more important than ever because people are using apps and things that in turn use or depend on availability of such land lines.
what's happen now is just with liberlization of industry that telcos with businesses like pay subscription tv will not have monopoly anymore and are going to have to get used to competitors that could offer cheaper services, but these competitors also need to have the fiber optic infrastructure to provide these services either they own or rent it like from singtel or starhub so fixed line business will continue to grow.
