Why the big ISDN switch-off is good news for everyone
We’re at a pivotal point in the European telecom industry, with many European PTTs planning to switch off ISDN and PSTN lines by the middle of the next decade, writes Bertrand Pourcelot, the director general of Centile Telecom Applications. BT will stop selling those lines in 2020 and will turn them off completely by 2025. Phase-out of ISDN by Swisscom and Deutsche Telekom is already happening, with Orange ceasing ISDN in 2020.
