In the Bay Area, I think most homes still have POTS lines. I wasn't aware most lines weren't already. Where are POTS lines no longer available?

By law, they're available everywhere if you specifically request them.
Verizon, when they install FIOS, will rip out the copper, by default. If you switch to another CLEC at a later date, you (or they) will have to pay to have copper put back in. You can request Verizon not remove the copper though, but you have to be aware of the need beforehand.
