In my neck of the woods, you can get a basic POTS line for $15/month if
it's important to you, local calls billed by the number of calls and the
normal LD charges.  Add a basic DSL service to that ($20) AND add a basic
unlimited VoIP service to that ($20) and suddenly you have the benefits
of POTS for emergencies *plus* Internet connectivity *plus* unlimited
worldwide calling for ~$60/month


Or just move to California, order residential dry-loop DSL from AT&T (not
sure about via resellers) and they are required by law to give you dial-tone
and access to 911.

$20/month for the DSL, $0/month for the VOIP (via Google Voice and Asterisk)
and you've got the best of all worlds.
