This sort of thing brings out the grumbling pedant in me. They aren't phasing out the PSTN at all - they are looking to phase out POTS, aka analogue copper line telephones. The PSTN will continue long into the future, as VoIP, ISDN, arguably all the mobile technologies, and all sorts of other access technologies are all part of the PSTN.
