Well, then you would need to advocate public internet terminals that can be accessed at reasonable cost.
Some countries have internet cafes, but Finland has never really had them to any extent because "too many" have internet at home (in the earlier days) or in their pocket (nowadays). Libraries do offer decent access, but sometimes you might have to wait 48 hours or more until it opens next time. And the density of libraries is of course nowhere close to what payphones once were. And you cannot have a confidential phone call in a library.
So in some aspects what you call the current iteration of the network is not much more capable for everyone, quite the opposite. At least 10% of the population (mostly elder people) are completely locked out here. Many more in other countries, but there often more alternative channels still exist.
