Video VoIP: Vonage Bets On Video
December 9, 2004
By Staff
Vonage has partnered with Viseon to promote a videophone package and service in Q1 2005. The phone is going to look a bit like this:
I think videophones and VoIP make a powerful combo and will popularize yet another acronym: VVoIP. The Apple iSight inserted new life into the videophone market a year ago, but carriers have been largely unenthused by the devices. I do think people will want this product/service - particularly travelers who want to stay in touch with loved ones (and possibly the office).
But I think a few things need to happen before this can become mass market:

Vonage To Offer Video Phone Service
December 9, 2004
By Martha McKay
Vonage is jumping into the nascent video phone market.
The aggressive, Edison-based Internet phone service provider is expected to announce today a plan to sell a video phone and service to consumers and small-business customers.
The deal involves a partnership with Viseon, of Dallas, a company that sells relatively low-cost video phones primarily to corporations, universities and government agencies. Viseon's Visifone sells for $ 600 and operates over any broadband connection.
The two companies plan to develop a new video phone for Vonage to sell.
Vonage's video phone service will be offered nationwide in early 2005, a company spokesman said. Pricing was not yet available.

Breaking News: Vonage Goes Video
December 9, 2004
By Staff
Vonage is getting ready to launch a videophone version of its voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) voice service. The company signed a deal with video telephone maker Viseon under which it will market Viseon’s forthcoming next-generation broadband video telephone, the VisiFone II, scheduled to be ready for market in the first quarter of next year. The device is expected to be unveiled in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show, scheduled for Jan. 6-9, 2005. Sales will be both via Vonage’s own Web site, and through the roughly 7,000 retail and online merchants that currently sell other hardware for use with Vonage’s VoIP service.
It’s not known how much extra, if anything, Vonage will charge for the videophone service, which the company is going to market as being able to work over any broadband connection anywhere in the world. It is going to promise “corporate quality videoconferencing” in a play to market the videophone service to small businesses as well as to individual end users. It also promises features never before available to consumers, among those the ability to use the VisiFone II screen to manage the various features of VoIP service -- functions that users now do via their PC. Such an offering will completely uncouple the PC and VoIP service for the first time.

FCC Official Is VoIP Booster
December 8, 2004
By Leslie Brooks Suzukamo
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 failed to provide the robust competition for local phone service that Congress had expected, but emerging technologies like Internet phone service may yet save the day, according to a member of the Federal Communications Commission who is expected in St. Paul today.
Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein is in town to hear citizens talk about the concentration of ownership of radio and television stations at 7 tonight at Hamline University's Sundin Hall.
Adelstein thinks Internet phone calling will hit the mainstream and provide competition for Baby Bells like Qwest Communications International, Minnesota's dominant local phone provider.
Internet phones turn voice calls into data and send them on fast broadband connections instead of the public telephone system.
They're far cheaper than regular phone calls, in part because they aren't burdened with connection fees and government charges that subsidize rural phone service and service for the poor.

Vonage Goes To The Video
December 8, 2004
By Ben Charny
Internet phone service provider Vonage will sell videophones and a videophone service sometime before the end of March, its chief executive said Wednesday, stamping an important imprimatur on a market once derided by comparisons to the futuristic TV cartoon "The Jetsons."
Vonage Chief Executive Jeffrey Citron didn't provide an exact date for the service's debut--first quarter 2005, he said--nor did he release pricing details. For a general idea on what a Vonage videophone service might cost, one can look to videophone provider Packet8, which sells unlimited video calling for $30 a month. Packet8 videophones, which have embedded cameras to capture the caller's image, come heavily rebated.
Vonage has partnered with broadband video equipment maker Viseon to develop the videophone. Vonage will release a videophone that resembles the VisiFone II, a phone developed by broadband video equipment maker Viseon. The VisiFone II debuts in January.

Vonage Now Serves KC Area
December 8, 2004
By Suzanne King
One of the biggest names in Internet phone service finally has arrived in Kansas City.
Vonage Holdings Corp. said Tuesday it had begun offering phone numbers in the 816 and 913 area codes.
Brooke Schulz, vice president for corporate communications, said customers in the area had been asking for local numbers for some time. They have been able to sign up for Vonage's service through a “foreign” area code — one from outside the Kansas City area.
Schulz said the Kansas City market has a high percentage of broadband Internet users, which makes it fertile ground for Internet phone providers. Vonage, like other Internet phone services, requires a broadband connection such as a digital subscriber line or cable modem.

Over 5m VoIP Subscribers Worldwide
December 7, 2004
By John Tilak
There were over 5m VoIP subscribers worldwide by the middle of 2004, with the majority of customers shared by a half-dozen or so operators, according to figures from broadband research firm Point Topic.
There are now approximately 1,000 VoIP providers around the world. Most of these have been set up in 2003 or 2004. Many have very few subscribers at the moment.
Yahoo Broadband's dominance is expected to steadily decline as other operators catch up after its head start, developing products and marketing strategies that suit local market and regulatory conditions.
