AT&T To Retire Its Traditional Copper Wire Network by 2029

If your business still relies on AT&T’s traditional copper telephone lines (POTS Lines), now is the time to prepare for a significant transition. AT&T plans to phase out its copper wire network by 2029, marking the end of the Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) era. This shift is driven by technological advancements, increasing operational costs for maintaining copper infrastructure, and a growing demand for more efficient digital solutions. Businesses that act early can avoid the financial and operational pitfalls of staying tied to outdated systems while positioning themselves for long-term success.
