Step one: figure out who's still on circuit-switched
I'm guessing that most providers by now have converted to an all-IP backbone; it's so much cheaper that way. I don't have a problem with circuit-switched POTS sticking around as long as people want to keep using it, so if the FCC is trying to move away from that I've gotta ask why. But I agree that beyond the last mile everything should be packet-switched.
I'm just curious who's still circuit-switched on the back end anymore.

No one is. The major telcos all converted within the past decade. All the long distance companies are also strictly IP based. All the new telcos, long distance companies (of course) are all IP based.
