In many workplaces, the option didn’t exist to regularly work remotely and as a result, companies didn’t necessarily provide the UC and collaboration tools required. COVID changed all that and remote working became mandatory for most of us. At first, we used the tools for multi-person video calls, but quickly started sharing screens and in many cases moved to mass participation web conferences.
Shift to all IP
We predict that the country will be split into businesses with type A and type B resellers. Type A resellers will already be talking to their customers about the PSTN switch-off and guiding them towards appropriate solutions in plenty of time, potentially saving their customers money whilst making more margin. Type B resellers will be too busy to worry about 2027, so they won’t proactively do anything about the PSTN switch-off. As a result, they might lose some of their customers to the proactive Type A resellers. Alternatively, they will be having a very stressful time in 2027 when suddenly their customers are being bombarded by warnings coming from every direction about their services being disconnected and then rushing to prevent that from happening.
