The comparison with a phone network isn't quite right because I can't see FB ever being able to charge for service.
But I agree with your point. I think Linkedin is far more likely to be wiped out than Facebook, but the market thinks different.

I am confident though that they will find a way to make FB a seriously viable business. The list of things I use FB for is just so long, I don't see how they couldn't find at least one v. profitable workflow to tap into (organising a night out, checking-in on the night out, posting photos the next day, etc.).
Yes, there is tivo etc, but you have to pay extra to get out of the ad experience (and it doesnt always work). TV ads are much more intrusive than FB ads, and I'd imagine TV-style facebook ads (like some websites that force you to sit through an ad) most likely will kill the platform.
