don't know about POTS. ISDN for new customers won't be available in all
regions in about two years, or so I've read; the reason is that the chips
won't be made any longer soon, and nobody wants to invest design new ISDN
chips with today's wafer technology.

At some point they'll have to save the remaining chips for repairs of 
equipment, and the less they have the better.
