Are you worried about the decommission of POTS, Copper, and PRI lines?
As a reminder on August 2, 2022, the Federal Trade Commission (FCC) is retiring POTS Lines. The order was passed in 2019, and the date to find a replacement is fast approaching. With 36 million POTS lines remaining businesses need to act fast to change their POTS lines to a more modern form of communication. Since POTS lines are used for several different kinds of communication this not only affects companies using them for standard voice services but also affects those that use POTS lines for other kinds of communication as shown below.
Reasons for Decommissioning
Maintenance is costly and cannot be done remotely.
Constantly being exposed to the elements causes failure over time.
It is expensive and only going to get more expensive ($65 – $100 per line).
Not very reliable.
The acceleration of technology has developed increasingly better forms of business communications, surpassing all the traditional issues that POTS Lines have. Therefore, the FCC has decided to retire POTS lines.
