When I was in training (nearly 30 years ago :-( we used many terms and acronyms but it is pointless me repeating them here as they would mean nothing to someone not involved in film production. I have never been in the telephone industry (whatever that is) nor the electronics industry. I have never heard of POTS until today. That doesn't mean that it has not been used here in the UK, obviously it has. I was curious because I do have a broad knowledge about most things - goes with the job - but I can tell you that POTS is not a term that is in general use by the vast majority of the general public here in Britain.
