The statistic depicts the penetration rate for fixed line telephony, otherwise known as 'Plain Old Telephone Service' (POTS) in Europe each year from 2005 to 2017. The penetration rate has fallen steadily as people's reliance on POTS decreases, falling from nearly half of the population in 2005, to less than a quarter (24 percent) in 2017.
