      In a shot to the nuts move against the US, the UK is making broadband internet a legal right by 2020 across every part of the country. Just as telephones were made a legal right in the past.

      considering this

      how does this change? The providers are already required to provide if asked for it.

      But they already can, see quote above.

        36%, OK that's a lot lower than I thought it was.

          So is it just a matter of them forcing the ISP in an area to build out on request, spread construction costs out over time?

          I will see, UK telecom is extraordinary. They have been ALL-IP for some years now. I have seen an article where a town created their own internet fiber service, paid for the installation, and kicked everyone out.

          I have a lot of old article digging to search for. Google isn't turn up much from memory and I cant recall the article titles lol.

            I would love that. The ISPs should be at the border to a municipality, not inside it. Similar to how power can from from any number of power companies (the grid is all interconnected).

            As for phones - I'd just like to see them die! Move everything to app based. I think one of the biggest push backs you get is from the safety side of things.

            If your power is out, it's still possible (and likely) that your copper landline is still working.
            That is not the case if you have phone service by cable, etc.

              Even though I have all the UC apps I still find it so easy to click the app and have the physical phone go off hook. Or to just hit speakerphone to answer when I am sitting at my desk.

              I know Altigen and a lot of people have tried pushing those desk phones that are just a base for a mobile phone, but they have never taken off and I assume its because they must not work well.

              All the E-911 stuff is their with mobile. Even in the UCC apps I have been using (in case someone dialed 911 there instead of via their own phone).

                Remember these?

                When of the many times I thought voip handsets were about to die off...

                  Nothing says you can't have a hardware phone connected to say - skype or What's App or Facetime, etc. It would be no different than a VOIP phone connecting to the services you sell today.

                  A great device will allow you to install any android app onto it to integrate with any IM/voice solution. Instead of the bluetooth headset today, you'd just use the handset on the phone.

                    I'm guessing people don't like the idea of plugging their mobile into the phone to make it work. That combined with the often high price of VOIP type phones compared to typical home POTS line phones - people haven't bought into it yet.

                      I'm not talking about cellular mobile, I'm talking pure LTE with no phone system back end (like what we have today - AT&T/Verizon/CenturyLink, etc) Instead the phone would get rid of that radio for cellular calls, and only have LTE radios, and the other non "phone" things. Now how do you provide 911 like services? i think something like an Emergency help app required by law that would connect to some type of universal system and route calls based upon the LTE tower you're connected to.

                        That probably going to increase when Disney start their streaming service.

                          I use only volte on my prepaid.

                          So it is already as you say

                            This is only Netflix... not all streaming.. That must have been what I saw was north of 70%, all video streaming constitutes more than 70% of peak traffic.

                                We could use VOIP with something like Email or DomainName based connections, allowing PBXs to all talk direct over the internet to each other... Of course we talked about that the other day, and the issue with spam, but I have spam problems already, I don't know that it would be worse than it is today. Heck, one thing we'd be rid of is the cost of call - long distance would be dead, so having your PBX hacked resulting in huge phone bills because of the use of the LEC would be gone ( still bad to have your PBX hacked though).

                                    All significant bandwidth 10+ years ago was porn, no joke.

                                    Even Napster wasn’t too big a deal because of end customer upload limits.

                                        So it is already as you say

                                        I don't want that either - that's still totally reliant upon the strangle hold the phone companies have with the phone numbers. Plus I love the idea of decentralized communication.

                                        We could use VOIP with something like Email or DomainName based connections, allowing PBXs to all talk direct over the internet to each other... Of course we talked about that the other day, and the issue with spam, but I have spam problems already, I don't know that it would be worse than it is today. Heck, one thing we'd be rid of is the cost of call - long distance would be dead, so having your PBX hacked resulting in huge phone bills because of the use of the LEC would be gone ( still bad to have your PBX hacked though).

                                        That’s what the domain based alias was for the signal.org I was doing.

                                        Open and secured voice and messaging based on DNS, using VoLGA to carry and provide reliable voice quality.

                                        Then can the tower thing, which crushed my life saving...
