The Impact of FCC POTS Lines Forbearance Order 19-72A1
The deadline to replace traditional copper analog POTS Lines has passed, but it’s not too late to make the switch!
Due to FCC POTS Lines Forbearance Order 19-72A1, telecommunications carriers, such as AT&T, Windstream, Verizon, Lumens, and smaller resellers, are no longer legally required to service POTS Lines.
The impact of FCC POTS Lines Forbearance Order 19-72A1 includes:
- An Increase in Monthly Pricing – Telecommunications carriers are increasing pricing for existing POTS lines between 75% – 200% in a concentrated effort to force customer migration away from the outdated, dying POTS Line infrastructure.
- Continuous Reduction in Provided Support – Telecommunication carriers are no longer required to service POTS Lines, making them obsolete and essentially ‘left-for-dead’ technology. Not only will you be left paying more monthly, but you’ll also be paying for the service of copper analog lines that no longer receive maintenance.
How Digital POTS Replacement Can Save You Money
Switching from traditional POTS lines to digital alternatives offers various cost-saving opportunities. These savings come from multiple areas, including operational costs, maintenance expenses, and enhanced efficiency. Let’s explore these different cost-saving aspects in detail.
Lower Monthly Service Fees
One of the most immediate cost savings from switching to digital communication systems is the reduction in monthly service fees. Traditional POTS lines often incur high monthly charges, especially for businesses with multiple lines. Digital systems typically have lower monthly costs because they leverage internet-based technologies, which are less expensive to maintain and operate. This reduction in monthly fees can lead to substantial savings over time, making digital systems a more economical choice.
Reduced Maintenance and Repair Costs
POTS lines are prone to wear and tear, requiring frequent maintenance and repairs. These ongoing costs can accumulate quickly, adding to the overall expense of maintaining a POTS-based communication system. Digital communication systems, on the other hand, are more reliable and durable. They require less maintenance and are less susceptible to physical damage, resulting in lower repair costs. The reduction in maintenance expenses contributes significantly to the overall cost savings.
Minimized Downtime and Disruption Expenses
POTS lines are more susceptible to outages and disruptions, which can lead to significant downtime for businesses. During these periods, companies may experience lost productivity and potential revenue losses. Digital systems are designed to be more robust and resilient, minimizing the risk of downtime. By ensuring continuous and reliable communication, digital systems help businesses avoid the costly impacts of disruptions, further enhancing cost savings.
Long-Term Investment Value
While the initial setup costs for digital communication systems can be higher than those for POTS lines, the long-term savings make the investment worthwhile. Digital systems are scalable and adaptable, meaning they can grow with your business without requiring frequent and costly upgrades. Over time, the reduced monthly fees, lower maintenance costs, and minimized downtime add up, making digital systems a more cost-effective solution in the long run.
Enhanced Efficiency and Productivity
Digital communication systems offer advanced features like real-time monitoring, automated alerts, and better technology integration. These features improve overall communication efficiency and productivity within a business. Enhanced efficiency means employees can work more effectively, reducing wasted time and resources. Improved productivity translates to better business performance and can lead to increased revenue, further offsetting the costs of transitioning to a digital system.
