Phone companies are LOSING their proverbial a$$es on rural landline service. It costs more to maintain the landlines than they bring in from phone bills.
Used to be the city customers, where you had lots and lots of people paying bills per mile of phone cable, paid for the rural service, where you had lots and lots of miles of cable, and only a few people paying bills.
The way to make it "right" is to make rural people pay their fair share. It's not the phone company's fault that you chose to live hundreds of miles from nowhere, where there is no cell service. You should really be paying to maintain those extra miles of phone line that nobody but you use.
BUT, most people couldn't afford what it would REALLY cost, and there would be a huge public uproar about the "big mean phone company" charging exorbitant amounts of money for phone service.
In a nutshell rural landline service amounts to a CHARITY. Yeah it costs you $70 a month, but if it costs the phone company $300 a month to bring you the service, it's a charity.
