The next meeting of the Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club (WROCC) will feature the group’s own Chris Hughes taking front and centre stage, to talk about the ongoing changes to the telephone and communications networks.
There are apparently two distinct transitions underway, both happening simultaneously, but on different timetables – and that overlap, coupled with them both being related to the UK’s communications network, has caused confusion amongst the public.
Chris has spoken to the group about these changes on two previous occasions, and in this follow-up Chris will look at the options people have with deadline fast approaching for the old PTSN (Public Switched Telephone Network) to be switched off. He will also explain the impact this will have on people’s broadband connections, and look at the choices people have.
The meeting will take place on Wednesday, 3rd June, with a kick off time of 7:45pm. Like all WROCC meetings, it will be held online using the Zoom video conferencing system, allowing you to join from the comfort of your own home.
The only requirements for attendance are a system on which Zoom can be run, and the meeting credentials. These remain the same as previous meetings, so if you’ve attended any recent monthly WROCC meetings you should have them, but if not they can be obtained by contacting the group.
Although the meeting is open to any RISC OS user, regardless of WROCC membership status, it’s well worth supporting the group by joining; the cost is just £10 each year, and you get the group’s self-titled monthly newsletter sent to your inbox as a PDF file, along with access to their online discussion forum.
You can also find recordings of previous meetings on YouTube, linked from the Meetings page on their website.
