Terminating a PSTN call requires a lot of control plane infrastructure beyond just raw bandwidth. Especially mobile where you need to keep track of devices physically in motion. Could a system to support 4 billion simultaneous calls be built, sure. But current PSTN systems are nowhere near sized for it.

When was the last time you place or received a call to/from PSTN?
