En estas frases x ejemplo:
Did You Know That the ***Blue Potato*** Puts Your Business at Risk?
If your business has been using voice for many years with that old ***“blue potato”***, you might not be aware that you will be confronted in 2020 with known data security issues needing your immediate business attention.

I assume that it has o do with this definition: "Blue potato": ...a blue potato may look like a food from another planet, but the spuds originated in South America ***thousands of years ago***.

No le encuentro la vuelta al término en español que refleje la idea del texto en inglés, que por lo que entiendo se refiere a un aparato anticuado

servicio telefónico (AT&T)

Hace años, las compañías de teléfono competían para proveer servicios de larga distancia. A Sprint le llamaban "the canary" y a AT&T "the blue potato" (me imagino que por el logo que parece una gran papa azul). Sin más contexto no se si a esto se refiera. Suerte.
