As others pointed out, there are many digital codecs that are superior to the audio quality of a rotary phone.
Not withstanding that, according to you, in some places the landlines "clipped the copper below the ground-level" I believe that vast majority of the country has working copper phone lines that continue to work during a power outage.
Not so much. 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. -- Chris Adams <cmadams () hiwaay net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
