Service Offered By AOL
• • Yes90
/ April 7, 2005 / America Online Inc., the world's largest
Internet service provider, plans to unveil its
Internet-based phone service in markets nationwide
today.
• • AOL's entry into the voice over
Internet protocol, or VOIP, market comes a day after Verizon
Communications Inc., the nation's largest local phone
company, added a bargain plan and enhanced services to the
Internet-based phone service it unveiled last summer.
• • The rollouts come as technology
research company IDC this week projected that 27 million
Americans would be using Internet-based telephone services
by 2009, nine times the estimated 3 million today, as more
households migrate to high-speed broadband Internet access.
• • The entry of established giants such as
Verizon and Time Warner Inc.'s AOL into the market could
help reassure consumers who may be skittish about entrusting
essential phone service to unknown start-ups, experts
said.
• • Indeed, AOL emphasized Wednesday that
its service would have an enhanced 911 emergency service in
all markets covered in the initial rollout. VOIP's lack of
access to the 911 system has been seen as a major
shortcoming.
• • Until recently, the Internet phone
market has been the stronghold of small, highly focused
start-ups such as Vonage Holdings Corp., the industry leader
with an estimated 600,000
subscribers.
• • In August, Verizon introduced VOIP
service with unlimited local and long-distance calling for
$29.95 a month.
• • AOL is offering new customers an
introductory price of $29.99 for six months, after which the
monthly fee rises by $10. Current AOL customers can choose
among various plans beginning at $13.99 during a trial
period.
