As has been pointed out here many times before, many people now get POTS lines from remote cabinets that have limited battery life and fail in a power outage lasting more than a few minutes.
yes, this. in the last 2 neighborhoods I've lived in... near/around ashburn, va (home to verizon, mci, lots of telco/bell-shaped-heads) I've always been serviced from a remote terminal, that has often failed when the power has cycled... There's a slew of places in the US where you don't actually go all the way back to the CO on a single copper pair :( never mind the places where the mini-co bundles you up on some mpls/ccc/etc link ... anyway :)
