Ummmm.... Bell was a government regulated monopoly. If you're one of those who still have a landline, the landline is highly regulated. Especially of you're in one of those small areas that was/is served by a non-Bell landline company. If I were to get a landline, my local calling area would be the two towns my carrier serves. I'd have to pay extra- a lot extra- to include the town next door where my kid's school is. They're Verizon, a Bell Baby. Ten years ago when I last set up a land line the phone company rep asked if I wanted a party line! NY State then, and probably still does, requires that a party line be offered to people.
