Modems still in operation?

The ATM machines I use respond too fast to be dialing a number... but who knows.
I was surprised to hear that lots of people do not even have dialup. I have relatives who live in rural areas and have no computers so I don't know if dialup or high speed Internet service is available to them. But Blu-Ray players seem to require a Internet connection for frequent firmware updates. My TV has updated itself via the Internet a few times as well. I guess today's high end home theater equipment is only going to work for city folk.
This helps explain why Blu-Ray is not as popular as some would hope.
