Plain Old Telephone Service
<communications> (POTS) The traditional voice service provided by phone 
companies, especially when opposed to data services.
 
Note that the acronym POTS is sometimes expanded as "Plain Old Telephone System" 
in which sense it is synonymous to Public Switched Telephone Network but used 
somewhat derogatively.
