The only strong case I see is if you have a small child in the house. We have a 6 month old...and having a landline seemed like a small price for additional security and connectivity if I need immediate access - dont want to boot skype or pray for an AT&T cell signal as I run around my apartment in a crisis
Even in the best of emergency medical response systems, response delays can arise. If you are not already medically trained, consider attending an emergency medical technician class or the local equivalent; the better to attend to your young charge.
