At least in the US, this hasn't been done for many a year.
There is no LEGAL monopoly. There is, in many areas, little to no 
competition though. As long as the ILEC owns and controls the outside 
plant, competition is difficult. CLECs that survive, for the most part, 
have their own outside plant. As a practical matter, due to the heavy 
capital investment, this means smaller towns.

Regardless, the PSTN IS the standard, and until VOIP reaches that level 
of reliability and quality, there will be many business failures
