Sadly, your suggestion is rational and valid, but not likely to happen.The official "cost" of a copper pair is on the order of $25 to $50 per month, depending on the effectiveness of the lobbyists.
"Wait?!", you say, "how is that possible if regular phone service is only sold for $15 per month?"
Ah, you see they claim that they lose money on their service while simultaneously posting record profits. That is because business is horrible and/or great depending on whether legislators or shareholders are in the room. ILECs are not bound by the laws of the regular universe.
But wild political machinations aside: operationally, using copper pairs cannot be used the way you described for ... reasons.
