Company Gets Rid Of Phone Lines
from the the-telephone-is-so-last-millennium dept
TMH, a small company that makes high end audio and video equipment has apparently decided that the telephone is way too inefficient as a communications mechanism. They've ditched all of their phone lines and will only communicate by email. Their main phone number simply directs people to their website. If they absolutely need to have a phone line, they'll set up a temporary line for an hour or a day, or however long it's needed. Of course, some people think this is a gimmick (and, of course, to some extent it is), but it's still interesting to see how well the company does with this policy. So far, they say, most (though not all) customers don't have a problem with it.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
