Nonsense. The difference between ham radio and most other telecommunication technologies is that all you need for ham is al allocation of spectrum and a couple of radios. ISDN and other legacy telco technology will disappear because they require a bunch of expensive, obsolete infrastructure - copper pairs to the exchange, the exchange gear itself, and the inter exchange trunks all cost real money in terms of support and maintenance. Spectrum is shared and costs nothing to maintain. There is certainly an opportunity cost of assigning spectrum to ham versus some other use, but that’s very different to the cost of maintaining obsolete physical tech to support a few hobbyists.
