[LINK] FCC, AT&T keen to phase out the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network)

[Jim Birch]

Isn't that perfectly reasonable?  The POTS-on-copper has been great but it
isn't technically up to what is being asked of it any more.  Retaining POTS
means either supporting a decaying clunky parallel service or limiting
Internet infrastructure to clunky performance levels.  This is really a
question of when and how rather than if.
