Selected answer:the distinction is less clear than previously
Explanation:
Probably a bit late to be asking for context :-)

Means the distinction between land lines & mobiles (cell phones in US) is less clear-cut. Example - the way that text messages (SMS), previously a mobile-only function, can now be handled by landlines as well.
