Bell Canada is deactivating legacy copper telephone lines without notifying in-home emergency alert providers. That means #seniors living #independently will lose access to their home monitoring services, like LifeLine. 40% of Lifeline’s Canadian subscribers still rely on traditional landline connections to transmit life-saving signals.
The CRTC must step in immediately and place a #moratorium on the decommissioning of aging copper networks until a plan is established to sustain in-home monitoring services for all seniors.
