@yetzt persomally, I think the #privatization of #DB as well as #TankUndRast as well as letting #DTAG keep the #PSTN (#HyTNAS) once privatized were fundamentally wrong.

I bet most people still don't realise that the process of stopping old style #telephone lines is well under way, and in an increasing number of exchanges in the UK you cannot buy (or take over from another provider/customer) a simple old fashioned #BT phone line any more. And, in just a couple of years, the existing lines will be ceasing. Fun times. #PSTN #WLR
Wanted to shout out a project I have found very useful: https://jmp.chat .
It is a #XMPP to #PSTN bridge service that for under $4/month provides you with a PSTN number where all calls (150 mins/month for US) and SMS/MMS (unlimited) go to your #XMPP account. It's nice to have a second number that I can text/call from on all of my devices!
#VoIP is supported for making calls as well. They currently have data-only #SIMs / #eSIMS in the works too. You can also pay in #btc if you want.

Am I in wrong, to say that the #UK #PSTN switch-over in 2025 & consequences/actions of it.
Are extremely poorly communicated...
I.e it sounds like a bonfire of analogue equipment/end of the world.
Without mentioning that already today, A signification amount of people/businesses use IP telephony with their existing analogue alarms/faxes/other devices.

"... the technologies that make these phone booths work – copper wiring and the public switched telephone network (PSTN) – are both end-of-life and in the process of being retired gradually across the country. Some of the physical equipment is not even being manufactured anymore, and we’re running low on spare parts to use when there are faults, which leaves some booths non-operational."
