Episode Synopsis

Recent news regarding British Telecom’s plans to decommission their copper telephony network spurred us to explore the implications of Copper Sunset, as telephony companies look to move on from legacy networks for good. The universal access to phone service we have long enjoyed does not apply to Internet access, where the digital divide is  becoming a key driver of economic success today. Chris and Jon explain why this matters, along with how we’ll be losing more than a network when those copper telephony systems are taken out of service.
