Vonage Will Offer Wireless Phones
Handsets, Coming In Mid-2005, Will Eliminate The Need For A VoIP Adapter
January 5, 2005
Vonage Holdings announced this week that it has partnered with two companies to offer wireless telephone handsets for its Voice over IP service.
Vonage Holdings announced this week that it has partnered with two companies to offer wireless telephone handsets for its Voice over IP service.
Both phones will eliminate the need for Vonage customers to buy VoIP adapters to connect with traditional, non-VoIP phones. Vonage in the past has marketed the adapters, but not VoIP phones, says Louis Mamakos, Vonage's chief technology officer.
Vonage, which provides VoIP service to residential and small business customers, announced it will begin offering a VTech Holdings cordless VoIP telephone through retail outlets by mid-2005.

The Telecom (Better Late Than Never) Revolution |

The Telecom (Better Late Than Never) Revolution
January 4, 2005
By David C. McCourt
Is it possible that, eight years after the landmark 1996 Telecommunications Act was passed, federal regulators are finally understanding what the telecommunications revolution was supposed to be about?
Recent evidence is encouraging. In November 2004, the Federal Communications Commission ruled that Vonage, one of the leading providers of telephone services over the Internet, or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), was exempt from the usual labyrinth of state regulation because it clearly offered an interstate service. The news about Vonage was preceded by an October rule letting telephone companies construct a fiber-optic network within 500 feet of a home without having to share it with competitors. At the same time, the FCC announced that electricity providers could offer Internet service over their power lines.

Wireless Net Calling Targets Masses |

Wireless Net Calling Targets Masses
January 4, 2005
By Paul Davidson
Internet phone calling, which is already rocking the traditional phone business, is poised to take on the cell phone industry later this year.
Vonage, the No. 1 Internet phone company, will unveil plans Tuesday to offer subscribers a wireless Wi-Fi phone that can make calls over the Internet at homes or at public Wi-Fi hot spots. For Vonage subscribers, the phone could amount to a kind of limited-use cell phone that would cost nothing extra.
Several smaller companies have introduced Wi-Fi phones in the USA at prices ranging from $130 to $750. But Vonage's move would mark the first mass-market rollout of the device at a lower price, probably around $100.
"Our customers are asking for it," says Vonage CEO Jeffrey Citron.

More Consumers Are Dialing Up Phone Service Over The Internet
January 3, 2005
By Staff
When stock analyst Frank Wagner decided to try Vonage, a low-cost provider of phone service over the Internet, his interest went beyond saving money on his monthly bill. He was curious whether the upstart Vonage could pose a serious challenge to phone giant SBC Communications Inc., the San Antonio-based company he watches closely.
Within two weeks of using Vonage, Wagner not only was sold on the $24.99 a month service, he saw first-hand that Vonage's high-tech calling plan presented a competitive threat. The value and the quality convinced him a year ago he should disconnect the SBC line at his San Antonio home, and he's used Vonage ever since.
"I still have my original phone number, and I pay a considerable amount less per month," said Wagner, who uses Vonage over his high-speed Internet connection. "We were paying about $60 a month for unlimited long distance calling with SBC, and now we're paying about $25."
By some estimates, there are more than 300 companies like Vonage, based in Edison, N.J., that use a technology called VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, to route phone calls over the Internet.

Vonage And UTStarcom Join Forces
January 4, 2005
By Hubert
Vonage and UTStarcom join forces to bring the UTStarcom F1000, the first commercial Wifi VOIP phone. The handset works with the Vonage service but is not restricted to it.
This device should let users call over Wifi networks. I don't know how easy it is to connect on secured or public networks, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.
