I was honoured to give my views on the future of the copper network in UK to the Federation of Communication Services annual Comms Provider event this year.

The say that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link and this is especially true of over the top services such as voice over IP. Given that the value chain in deploying solutions such as these can involve numerous product and service providers, leaving anything to chance is, quite simply, bonkers.
