Silver Voices latest campaign is gathering pace ‘Our campaign to delay the switch over of traditional copper wire landlines to internet -based telephone systems (VoIP or Digital Voice) is fast gathering pace. Just before Christmas it emerged that Michelle Donelan, the Technology Secretary, had ordered the telecom companies to protect vulnerable customers in the switch over, particularly those with telecare alarm systems linked to their landlines, as a result of some “serious incidents” involving telecare devices failing. Burglar alarms may also fail. It was said that both BT and Virgin Media O2 had paused the roll-out of their digital phone…

The abysmal security situation was reminiscent of an episode of the Keystone Cops. People wandered freely into the alleged exclusion zones, often without challenge. Hard – pressed coast guards whizzing about on quadbikes tried and largely failed to direct people off the shore. Increasingly frustrated police officers on the same type of vehicles were also having little effect at crowd control. Seemingly oblivious to the dangers, some people blissfully…
