Navigating the British Telecom 2025 Switch Off: Your Guide for Small Businesses
In 2025, British Telecom (BT) will be phasing out its traditional copper telephone network, known as Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). This transition to a digital network, known as IP-based infrastructure, will bring about significant changes for businesses of all sizes, particularly small businesses.
The Impact of the PSTN Switch Off on Small Businesses
