United Kingdom studies to eliminate the use of fax
The use of the fax seems to have an expiration date in the United Kingdom, where the telecommunications authorities are studying to eliminate in 2023 the law that keeps this service alive in the country
The United Kingdom analyzes the elimination of the law that keeps the use of the fax alive in the country. Opinions will be heard until December of this year, but the odds point to an elimination at the beginning of 2023.
Given the technological advances that allow instant communication, the UK communications regulator (Ofcom) is analyzing “changes to the rules that will mean that telecommunications providers will no longer be obliged to provide fax services under the universal obligation service (USO).”
Currently, the phone companies BT and KCOM offer support for faxing by using a phone line through the USO, or Law of Universal Use. This constitutes a set of rules that allows the availability of the telephone connection in the United Kingdom at a moderate cost.
However, due to the technological changes that have led telephone companies to migrate to the Internet protocol or IP, they could be the key point for the elimination of the law that still keeps the use of fax alive, since both systems are not compatible.
Opinions on this issue will be heard until December in order to make the final decision in early 2023.
