Digital landline switch paused for vulnerable people
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-67750235

"UK phone companies have paused making vulnerable customers switch to
digital landlines following "serious incidents" where telecare devices
stopped working.

Nearly two million people are thought to use such equipment, which can
be used to summon help in an emergency.

Digital landlines can fail in some circumstances, such as a power cut.

Phone providers have signed up to a charter under which people can only
be moved from an analogue to a digital line if there is no impact on
telecare."

Fake news kills!
