The migration of traditional copper wire landlines to internet based phones has already been paused twice because of safety concerns and also actual incidents where vulnerable customers have been harmed. No additional safety measures have been developed and safeguards have actually been weakened, but the Government has given the green light for the telecom giants to recommence the roll-out. Show your displeasure at this feeble kowtowing to the commercial interests of the telecom companies.
