If telcos want to eliinate POTS, that's fine, as long as they find some
other way to meet the tariff for the POTS service to the letter.

What is going on is actually not telcos wanting to get rid of POTS, it is
a matter of telcos wanting to eliminate tariffed services with access
and uptime requirements, so they can replace them with unregulated services
that they can charge anything that they want for.
