The biggest change in the UK telephone network that (almost) no one is talking about
We’re all familiar with the copper wire telephone network: in use since 1876, it’s kept business communications going for years. Since its invention, the public switch telephone network (PSTN) has seen a lot of changes: it's gone from manual switching, which required a human operator, to electronic switching; from just simple copper wires to fibre cables and cellular networks.

Don’t let anyone tell you how to run your startup
