I'll address each point

Point 1: If you have PC you have all the equipment needed. How is needing a mic headset and speaker any differnt that the telephone hand set? In fact many people purchase mic headset speaker for thier telephones. This really is an issue anymore and is becoming less and less of one. The old POTS system is on it's way out as it should be.

Point 2: You don't need to dial a person's phone. YOu connect to them via TCP over the internet and talk all you want. Right now that divides those with a PC from those with just POTS but the is way of every changing technology. In time POTS will disappear and comodity tech using embedded OSes will replace phones.

Point3: Phone companies can choose not to budge on this. The result is they will die. If you take notice now you will see the Telcos are already internet providers and are branching into other services. My Telco is offerning Cable TV channels, wireless service, and cell phone service. They see that POTS is a dying business model.

Plain and simple if you want a business to rely on POTS for revenue in the future someone will come and eat your lunch by using the internet.
