Vonage Goes North For Growth
November 23, 2004
By Colin C. Haley
Internet telephony provider Vonage has increased its presence in Canada, drawn by a high broadband penetration and tech-savvy population.
The firm has announced that RadioShack Canada will sell its flat-rate service in 550 stores across the country. Financial terms of the partnership were not disclosed.
This is Vonage's first retail channel deal north of the border and is designed to build on the company's direct online sales efforts.
In addition, the Edison, N.J.-based firm established a corporate office in Mississauga, Ontario. Vonage's Canadian operations will be run from the facility by industry vet Bill Rainey.
Rainey, president of Vonage Canada, was most recently senior vice president of commercial services at GT Group Telecom, a national Toronto-based telecommunications company.

RadioShack To Sell Phone Service Tied To Internet
November 23, 2004
By Gillian Shaw
Vonage Canada announced Monday its Internet-based telephone service will be available at RadioShack stores across the country, in the latest salvo fired in the war to win customers in the fast-growing voice-over IP market.
Vonage, which has offered Canadians access to its services first through its U.S. website and more recently through a Canadian online arm, vonage.ca, also announced the launch of its Mississauga-based Canadian headquarters, catering to what company president calls the increasing demand for VOIP services in Canada.
Vonage Canada president Bill Rainey said B.C., a province with one of the largest proportions of high-speed Internet connections to homes and offices, rates high in demand for the technology, although he declined to disclose customer numbers in the province.

According To Synergy's Latest Report, Q3 2004 U.S. Service Provider VoIP Market Shares, Service Provider VoIP Equipment Increased 48.8% Sequentially And 149.5% Year Over Year
November 23, 2004
By Staff
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- According to Synergy's latest report, Q3 2004 U.S. Service Provider VoIP Market Shares, service provider VoIP equipment increased 48.8% sequentially and 149.5% year over year. The U.S. VoIP market continues to be driven by Public Voice networks migrating from circuit technology to VoIP as well as consumer voice services being delivered over broadband networks.
"In the U.S., residential VoIP subscribers are increasing at a surprising rate, all at the detriment of traditional phone services," said Jeremy Duke, President & CEO of Synergy Research Group. "Renegade VoIP phone service providers such as Vonage have put a fire under the traditional local and long distance phone companies who in turn are now responding in force with their own VoIP services."

Now You Can Phone Home Through The Net
November 22, 2004
By Kim Komando and Ted Rybka
Using your computer and Internet connection to make local and long-distance calls has been getting a lot of attention lately. People are enticed by the savings offered by voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) and the ability to use a regular telephone. But before making the switch, you should weigh the pros and cons.
Most VoIP providers charge a monthly fee of $20 to $30 for unlimited local and long-distance calling anywhere in the United States and sometimes Canada. You also receive a host of features that would normally cost extra, such as call forwarding, voice mail, caller ID and call waiting.
There are enhanced features, too. Many providers will forward your voice mail to an e-mail account. There is a super version of call forwarding that sends calls to five or so different phones. It will ring them one at a time or all five simultaneously.
Although VoIP is still in its infancy, there are a number of companies providing service, such as AT&T, Packet8, VoicePulse and Vonage. The quality is better than a cell phone and often matches traditional phone service. But there is a potential for dropped calls similar to cell phone service.

Download: A Victory For Net-Phony
November 22, 2004
By N'gai Croal
Nov. 22 issue - Part of what has enabled the small but rapid growth of VOIP (voice-over-Internet protocol) phone services has been a regulation-free playing field where innovation thrives. But in October 2003, the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission ruled that Vonage and other VOIP providers would be subject to the same rules as traditional phone companies; New York state's commission followed suit in May of this year.

Early Adopters Aren't Afraid To Make Most Of New Technologies
November 21, 2004
By Michael Prager
You probably know a family that has established a network at home to connect all its computers. Each person in the house probably uses the network to share broadband Internet access, the printer, maybe, or a few files.
What's far less likely is that you have friends who are using their networks to share entertainment: music, photographs, shows recorded from television, games, movies and more.
Unless you know someone like Paul Antico. Or Tracy Capone-Blake. Or Chris Martino. Or Seth Rubinson.
Heard individually, their stories might tempt you to be dismissive: Get a life, you might think. But together, the stories of these Massachusetts residents describe a trend, if not a movement, toward a future that's no longer somewhere over the horizon.

Cable Leads The Election Rally Of 2004
November 21, 2004
By Paul Kagan
Pundits are still second-guessing the TV networks for calling a possible John Kerry victory based on the early exit polls in the Nov. 2 election. But they could have saved time, money and face simply by checking the stock market averages on CNBC. The Dow, S&P 500 and NASDAQ all started rising together Oct. 26, exactly one week before thousands of lawyers were sent to the polls to guard against skulduggery. (Now there's an oxymoron.) The vote that reelected George W. Bush was just as close as the forecasts: It was a tie except in Ohio. But it's as if Wall Street guessed, on that turnaround Tuesday, that Osama bin Laden was going to broadcast to the world the next Saturday (Oct. 30). His tape on the Al-Jazeera network may have been the prod to knock swing voters off the fence. And it surely boosted the Bush turnout in the most well-attended election ever. But many more currents flowed through this contest.

LI Industry Pioneer Hails FCC Ruling On Internet Phone Call Regulations
November 19, 2004
By Ken Schachter
The Federal Communications Commission's recent ruling that the federal government, not the states, is responsible for regulating phone calls placed over the Internet was "historic," said industry pioneer Jeff Pulver.
In its latest ruling, the FCC assumed responsibility for regulating services such as Vonage, which offers telephone service to users of broadband Internet services.
The ruling was a victory for Internet telephony providers, who had challenged the right of states to impose regulations.
In his blog, Pulver, who runs the VON (Voice Over Net) conferences, noted that in February the FCC ruled that his computer-to-computer Free World Dialup service was an unregulated information service.

Web Phones: Off The Hook
November 22, 2004
By Anne Newman
The Federal Communications Commission took a major step to encourage phone calling over the Internet.
On Nov. 9 it said Net phone service provided by the likes of Vonage Holdings and cable companies will be subject to lighter federal, not state, regulation. Without a patchwork of rules from 50 states, Web-phone providers may have fewer costs.

Vonage Offers VoIP With Iowa Area Codes
November 19, 2004
By Frank Vinluan
Vonage, the nation's largest provider of Internet calling, is offering its services with central Iowa phone numbers, the company announced Thursday.
The technology employed by Edison, N.J.-based Vonage and other providers of "Voice over Internet Protocol," or VoIP, allows businesses and residences to make phone calls through high-speed Internet connections.
Iowans have been able to order phone service from Vonage, but without a physical network presence in the state, Vonage could not offer phone numbers with Iowa area codes.
Now Vonage is offering VoIP phone numbers with 515 and 641 area codes. The company plans to offer numbers with Iowa's remaining area codes by the end of the year.
