Challenge: managing copper shutdown without operational risk
Copper network shutdown is inevitable but complex. For CTOs, the challenge is threefold: ensuring service continuity, meeting regulatory requirements and migrating customers to more profitable solutions.
Key pain points:
- Revenue erosion: how to offset declining copper revenues while funding migration?
- Technical complexity: identifying all impacts on passive infrastructure and critical services.
- Churn risk: how to migrate customers smoothly to new offers?
- Compliance: aligning with regulatory timelines to avoid penalties.
