My Department currently has in operation 30 copper communication lines inclusive of ISDN, PTSN and copper-based lease lines paid for on a monthly basis. My Department is currently in the process of implementing a Unified Communications initiative for both telephony and video conferencing. This has allowed the Department to streamline its telephony infrastructure and migrate away from traditional voice services where appropriate. As part of this process the Department has been actively phasing out any non-essential landline subscriptions.
