Companies are still paying for infrastructure they no longer use, from legacy POTS lines to overlooked utility expenditure.
This isn't just a technology problem, it's a visibility problem.

MetTel’s Sean Sullivan, VP of Product Management and Regulatory Affairs, recently added his insights to Channel Dive, highlighting the urgency behind the FCC’s acceleration of copper network retirement.
In the article, Sean discusses how the phase-out of legacy copper infrastructure is creating a “gold rush” moment for businesses and agencies that still rely on outdated copper POTS lines for critical systems.
As legacy exchange carriers (LECs) move quickly to retire these networks, organizations are forced to rethink connectivity for critical services like alarms, elevators, and point-of-sale systems.
Sean emphasizes that this shift is not just a technical upgrade. It is a necessary step toward more resilient, scalable, and cost-effective communications.
Waiting is no longer an option. Proactive modernization is key to avoiding disruption and staying ahead of the transition.
