I am in the US, and formerly a telecommunications technician*, and I
knew what the term POTS meant. So what?
* also formerly a wireman (electrician to lay folk), electro-mechanical
technician, mechanic (auto, truck, heavy equipment, and industrial),
truck driver, salesman (real estate, automobiles, retail), electronics
technician, computer technician, quality control supervisor, 4x4 shop
manager, library binder, compositor (typesetter), pressman, engineering
technician, security guard, bicycle mechanic, commercial photographer;
all paid positions at the journeyman level or above. As well as a dozen
other things, either paid at less than journeyman level or as a hobby.
Never could stand always doing the same thing (probably a major mistake
on my part).

I'm not in the U.S. and I'm not in I.T. and I didn't know what it
meant either. Though I made some really dirty guesses.
