The Future Of Telecoms Is Already Here, If We're Ready

UK Government sees 70bn UK pounds benefit of future telecoms, but will it help businesses escape the past?
Telecoms in Britain is a growth priority for the UK Government. That's not my opinion, that's a stated fact in a new report highlighting the 15 top technologies that will drive growth, improving British society and business in the next ten years. The study claims telecoms could be worth up to 70 billion UK pounds (around 0.73% of UK GDP growth). That's great, but as I sit here, we are less than two years from the (already extended) PSTN switch-off and many organizations are panicking about how they are going to fund switching over from 150 year old technology, never mind be part of a glorious future.
