Finland's last analogue landline calls go silent after 150 years
Summary
Finland has retired its analogue landline network after nearly 150 years as fibre replaces copper-based voice services. The move follows similar transitions in Estonia, the Netherlands, Norway, and Spain. Elisa marked the end with a historic call between its CEO Topi Manner and Jarkko Saarimaki, head of Traficom, noting that only a few thousand landline-only plans remain and that local operators will continue some legacy services for now.
