Openreach, the BT Group firm that runs the UK's phone lines, says about one million copper lines are still live, 300,000 of them in businesses. Card payment machines, lift emergency phones, fire alarms and door entry systems could stop working if they aren't moved to digital. Households keeping a landline won't lose it, as the phone will plug into the broadband router instead.
