High priced telephone service is mostly due to taxation, the actual cost is nearly nothing.
Initial infrastructure build-out costs and maintenance of that network are not trivial costs, labor being the big ongoing one. Good customer service costs a *lot* to provide. And customers are always asking for the newest tech, and it's *got* to be cheaper than the existing tech.
Building and maintaining a telephone company is messy and costly - not enough to justify $.25/min domestic LD rates or $40. phone lines, but not *free* either.
(Disclaimer: I work for a telephone company that was built mostly from the ground up.)
