Ofcom SUPPORTS The Removal Of This Office Staple..
Welcome back to Tech Craze, today on the channel we are going to talk about Fax for the memories: Ofcom backs death warrant for 80s office staple + Is it goodbye - finally - to the fax machine? For 20 years, the fax machine’s beeping, static-strewn screech was the sound of the future. But the pace of technology is pitiless: like carrier pigeons, portable cassette players and videocassette recorders, the fax machine is finally an official relic of the past. The death sentence was handed down on Tuesday in the form of Ofcom’s announcement that it was minded to back the government’s decision to remove the requirement for fax services under the Universal Service Order (USO) legislation. These are the rules that ensure phone services are available to people across the UK at an affordable price.
As ubiquitous as fax machines were in the 1980s and 90s, their obsolescence comes amid the industry-led migration from the public switched telephone network to all-internet protocol (IP) telephony, which means that fax machines will no longer work in the same way. Ofcom’s move comes after the government amended the Electronic Communications (Universal Service) Order 2003 to remove facsimile services from the USO from 1 October 2022. Meanwhile, Is it goodbye - finally - to the fax machine? The device - formally known as a facsimile machine - was once a regular feature of British offices. But now the UK's communications regulator Ofcom is consulting on changes to telecoms rules that could formalize its obsolescence. It would mean telecom providers would no longer be required to provide fax services under the universal service obligation (USO). "We're proposing changes to the rules" Ofcom said. Stay tuned as we share more about Fax for the memories: Ofcom backs death warrant for 80s office staple + Is it goodbye - finally - to the fax machine?
