One thing doesn't make sense in that article: it talks about POTS being
subsidized by other services, and people cutting POTS lines. Wouldn't
that be _good_ for the companies and their other services? The way the
article describes things, fewer POTS lines = smaller subsidies taken
from other services = better profits for other services and the company.
