Yea I am aware. My point is that an analog system doesn’t have network outages unless the physical copper wires are all down.
Digital systems are much more fragile.
All phone systems are digital now. Even what appears like POTS at the subscriber end turns into VoIP when it reaches the phone company.
Analog telephony was still built on a complex automated network. Those rooms full of operators manually connecting callers by plugging in physical wires haven’t been a thing for 70 years. They even started going digital in the ‘60s.
