AT&T Landlines Service is limited

BeyondThreshold
Last year, I checked to see what the costs was to get phone service with a land line but could not afford the service.  Now, I am ready (financially) to get land line service and last week I waited a couple of hours at the local AT&T store to sign-up.  However, AT&T no longer offers land line service to my physical address any more.  I get on my computer through their DSL package (non Wi-Fi, of course) too.

My question is, how do the phone companies get away with pulling out phone lines?  I thought these lines were subsidized with tax payer money?  Where are the regulations?  

Any ideas on where or how to find public phones that work?

If you've got an internet connection, then you can get a VOIP phone, or a USB phone hooked up to a computer.  All wired.
