Well a little while back it was supposed to be next year, If it means
everyone gets an internet connection, I'm all for it. And all that crappy
overhead naff cable carrying broadband can go away and the horrible
interference it causes will vanish. However knowing such things as I do, I
doubt its that simple.
One big issue for society, and has already been experienced in Sweden, is
can we keep the infrastructure of Voip up during disasters. In the case of
the twisted pair so to speak, BT had batteries at the exchanges, but since
this means there will be no exchanges and the system is no doubt powered in
the streets from normal mains, will it all go down leaving us all cut off?

I think Germany are ahead of us, so we shall see.
Get that old CB radio out of the loft.

Keep seeing stories regarding BT's planned switch off of analogue phone
lines in 2025 but, knowing little about telephony, and having no
particular interest in the subject, don't know what this really means for
the average home phone user.

Thoughts?
