Telephone serves as a means for emergency notification, and it is easier to call emergency responders. Such reasons not to get rid of the landline Russians called the chief editor of the portal “Mobile telecommunications” Leontiy Bukstein in an interview with radio Sputnik.
According to the expert, the home phone remains a reserve communication channel, so the state will support it, despite decreasing its popularity. Bukstein reminded that landlines are part of the system of civil defense.
He also added that the landline telephone is sometimes necessary for vital calls. “A lot of people of advanced age it is necessary. Not all of them can quickly call an ambulance on your mobile or know the 112 number and the phone number is 03 know everything,” — said the expert.
