This just gets crazier and crazier. Either Treez is deliberately trolling, or delusional and needs help.
Yes, it feels uncomfortable. But maybe it is simply a matter of his company not being able to compete in a cost-sensitive market, or his boss not accepting expensively engineered solutions, and treez looking for "government help"?
@treez -- we had "government sponsored" telephone makers in my country until 1980 or so. I believe the situation was similar in the UK and many other countries? Yes, the phones were pretty reliable. But there also was hardly any technical progress over five decades or so, ever since self-dialing had become the norm. And those phones were expensive! (If you could buy them at all and were not forced to pay a monthly leasing fee.) Can't say I miss those days.
If it was like Australia, not only did the Telecommunications body own the phones, they also had responsibility for all the connections up to & including the phone.
If you had a faulty phone, they fixed it ----full stop.
With privatised suppliers, you have to pay someone else to fix your internal wiring--- the phone company just delights in " duck shoving " the problem to someone else.
Technical progress?
When I was in Wyndham in tropical North Western Australia in 1967, the communications were magneto phones via a two wire pole route, all the way to Geraldton where it picked up the Coax system to Perth.
Funnily enough, Kununurra, 70km air distance ( a lot further by road) away, had an automatic exchange, so around the town were dial up, but if you wanted to call outside, you had to go through Wyndham manual exchange.
The pole route landline had a 12 channel voice system on it, plus a 24 channel VFT ( telegraph) system.
In the "Wet" season, the poles would often get washed away, losing everything.
The backup was two Independent Sideband HF Transmitters to Derby, a bit further down the coast, (516 km air distance ),where hopefully they would connect to a still intact landline, otherwise it was another HF Radio link to Perth.
The problem was, the "Wet" wasn't a good season for HF Radio either!
By the way, the nearest AM Broadcast Station was in Darwin 446 km away in the Northern Territory.
By the mid 1980s, Wyndham had a Broadband UHF spur of the microwave system into Kununurra, Remote Area TV, AM & FM radio stations & an automatic exchange you could make STD & ISD calls through.
So, in a bit under 20 years, it had gone from a "frontier" standard of communications to a similar level to that of the major cities.
Of course, the big cities had dial phones for decades before that, but building auto exchanges in cities & using cable already in the ground is a lot easier & far less costly, than installing long haul comms.
So much of massive infrastructure & technology improvements over the years were "behind the scenes", & not apparent to the casual user.
A phone looked like a phone!
