As I mentioned before on the Openreach network then for the real laggards
and refusenik's there will be Openreaches EVAc. Emergency Voice Access.
service which is being trialled.
Note this will be a very limited voice only product and will be there for
cases where perhaps a ISP has placed orders to migrate the service or
can't get enough resource capacity too get the work done in time in an
area.
I have lost count of the people I have spoken too who have been told, by
well meaning but totally misguided people, just refuse or cancel any
migrations as they can't force you to digital and hence I think this is
part of Openreache's mitigation for those who refuse to engage.
All change is disruptive and hence the more that can be done to mitigate
things the better but there comes a point where things will need to be
forced.
A decade ago they were running out of spares and doing things like
propping up system shelf's with cardboard or anything they could and hence
why they also started closing some smaller locations to get spares to
carry on.
Anyway I look forward to another of your educational talks.
