Elisa Ends Finland's Analog Landline Network After Final Copper Call as Customers Shift to Fiber

Elisa shuts down Finland's last analog copper landline network and ends service after a symbolic final call between Topi Manner and Jarkko Saarimäki.The operator says only a few thousand pure landline customers remain, competitors Telia and DNA wound down their copper networks earlier, and local providers will still offer basic local connections.The shutdown completes a migration to fiber optic and all‑IP networks that began in the 1880s, accelerated by mobile adoption driven in part by Nokia, and follows similar closures in Estonia, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Germany.
