Wanadoo No.1 For Broadband Voice?
Posted: 17th Nov, 2005 By: MarkJ
Wanadoo has proclaimed itself the UK's number one ISP for broadband voice (Voice-over-IP) services after announcing that it had 80,000 customers, with 5,000 more being added each week:
The France Telecom-owned ISP says its Wireless & Talk VoIP service is a doddle to use. Or as boss Eric Abensur puts it: "There is no software to download, no fiddly headphones and you're not tied to your computer."
He added that "phone-to-phone is the way forward for VoIP services" and that this had been underlined by the fact that Wanadoo's 80,000 punters had been signed up in just seven months.
"BT's Communicator product took around 20 months from launch to attract 50,000 registrations," said Wanadoo in a statement.
It's good to see Internet based voice services starting to take off, although confusion over the technology (by consumers), compatibility and a lack of clear standards continue to hamper its development. More @ The Register.
