| Who didn't see this coming? What still amazes me is that the telcos refuse to lower landline pricing, and it's 2010. I would happily keep mine if they could offer the same features and price as my voip provider. They still rob rural customers $60+ a month for a phone. I don't see how Frontier can turn this around. |

How much of a typical POTS line is regulation/tariff based? Honest question, as I've not done the research. |

They're very slow to change. Over the very long term, they have lowered pricing. For instance, I have unlimited calling to anywhere in the U.S., with my landline. No per minute rates ever, unless I call internationally. At one point, that would have been unheard of, or prohibitively expensive for most.
I do agree with you though, that prices could be better. Some of those features really should be offered at no extra charge at all. Caller ID costs what....maybe cents or fractions of a dollar per customer to operate? Voicemail would be a bit more involved, but even that should be cheap to offer. |
