I don't believe there are any places where someone doesn't have another
reasonable choice. The only possible exceptions to this are areas where
local telcos still have legally-enforced monopolies on all facets of
communications service. To those people, I'll say I'm sympathetic to
your plight, but if you expect me personally to do anything about it,
you'll be waiting a long time. All I can suggest is to work within your
laws to deregulate your telcos, or move to a more enlightened country.

And I could say you're a typical end-user who doesn't really have any
idea about the technical, legal and financial issues involved, and that
your own ignorance leads you to believe that I don't know what I'm doing
and that you could do it better.
I'd be more than happy to see whatever other solutions you have that will
accomplish the same goals. I noticed that you didn't bother to offer any
here, despite the fact that you think I could use some help. Perhaps
you're a consultant looking to sell your services?
