VoIP. Is Phone by Wire Nearly Dead?

Hard wired phone lines. Just how long will we have them? And just how many metres of cable are there on those big pictured cable drums?

  • If BT have their way, it won't be a case of VOIP successfully penetrating the home market.  BT intends to switch off the whole POTS telephone network in the next few years, and migrate everything to VOIP.  Anybody who still wants a land-line phone will be given a box, which will effectively be a cut-down broadband modem with a phone socket on it.


    Presumably anyone who has a broadband service will be encouraged to install some kind of VOIP phone on that.
