"Thank you for calling..." Take a look at this surprising news about our beloved telephone network. Surely, Alexander Graham Bell never saw this coming.
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), also known as the wired telephone network, is widely used by people all over the world. However, with such rapid technological advancements, the use of PSTN has become rare, and people right now are more comfortable with the digital or wireless networks which are more comfortable with the digital or wireless networks which are more efficient, stable, and secure than the PSTN.
The shift to new technology.Before the advent of digital technologies such as ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) or FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface), PSTN was the most popular telephone network. This network is based on copper wires that carry analog our voice data. The main problem with PSTN is that the network is not robust. Due to hurricane Sandy, the PSTN network was completely destroyed in the Mantoloking Island in New Jersey in 2013. In addition to this, the voice quality is often not satisfactory in the PSTN system, causing serious problems. Unfortunately, this is not the only notable natural disaster to disrupt services. Due to the structure of the system, PSTN is physically vulnerable where its new competitors are untouchable.
People have already started to use digital or IP telephony using the Internet.All of the telephone operators today unanimously agree that an Internet-based telephone network is the only efficient option to satisfy the demands for their large number of customers. Within a very short time, the PSTN network will be completely abandoned by users, who prefer the ease of use and efficiency of the robust mobile broadband or IP-based telephone network systems.
The governments stance.Government regulations will keep the PSTN network from being completely turned off. Despite the availability of better and cheaper alternatives, the PSTN network will be available no matter how few users it has. However, people have become more conscious, so the use of PSTN continues to decrease in a rapid fashion.
