80% of the carriers' revenue is generated by business users. 20% remaining is generated by home users.
80% of the operational costs is incurred to support the provision of telephony services for the residential users and the 20% remaining to support business users.

The so-called mew world -to use the term Cisco's CEO coined- will look like this:

WorldCom's deputy chairman: “our religious focus on the business customer” has been to deliver the most lucrative market for the smallest investment. The company has already wired up 52 city centres in the United States; once it covers 85, it will have access to three-quarters of America's business telecommunications network.

Continuing in this course of action, companies -at least the larger ones- will use extensions of their enterprise networks to provide the telephone and data line for employees to access their intranets from home. We can infer that will be left quite a few possibilities for provision of pure telephony services under this assumption above. How is going to be provided the service for users in need of telephony-only service?

HOw telephony as public service will be financed then?
