Voice over IP Service offerings by Vonage, ATT & Verizon target Home End-users.

Voice over IP (VoIP) is becoming more adopted by home users. New VoIP Services such as Vonage, ATT and Verizon is targetting the home user market. From what I've been reading...VoIP rates are typically flat rate. Not too bad for domestic and long distance nation-wide calling.

"Voice over Internet protocol (VOIP) has been batted about in techie circles for many years. Over the past few years, it has been installed in many large companies to replace traditional telephone systems for internal calls. But within the past year or so, home users have begun to buy VOIP services, using their broadband Internet connections to make phone calls across the same pipes that carry the Web traffic. The start-up Vonage has packaged VOIP for the home user. Vonage's Digital Voice service costs $25 per month for unlimited local and long-distance calls in North America. The company boasts 450,000 customers, with an additional 10,000 coming onboard each week.

Vonage is no longer the only game in town, as telephone companies and cable companies have also started selling VOIP services to their residential customers. AT&T's CallVantage and Verizon's VoiceWing start at $30, and Time Warner Cable's Digital Phone starts at about $40."
