Do enterprises still use POTS lines? Well, the ILECs appear to be
asking the same question, because there is a disturbing trend taking
place with ILEC pricing. For example, one well-known ILEC recently
raised its list rate for POTS services by a whopping 50%.
Listen to this 9 minute podcast as TC2 Directors Theresa Knutson, Julie Gardner, and Joe Schmidt discuss why enterprises still use POTS lines
for services like elevator phones, explain why ILECs are imposing these
huge price increases, and offer insight on what you need to do.

I've been keeping an eye on my POTS bill, and it just shot up almost
$3/mo, again. It seems to go up a dollar or two per month, every
year or two. I pay well over $10/mo more now, then I did in just 7
years ago. Flat rate line, local unlimited calling, no features;
$46/month now. It seems that they are trying to price people out of
owning a POTS line. I'm not sure what my limit is, but we're
encroaching it (I pay a few dollars per month for third-party long
distance service).

Cellular service has always been agressively targeted at young,

not) trained to consider the low-term costs of "included with offer"
cellphones, or per-minute cellular billing, or lowered voice
quality.
Why should they care? They *don't use* voice telephony.
