Vonage Plans to Enter the Australian Market
Posted by Darius Wey in "NEWS" @ 09:15 PM
"U.S. Internet telephone company Vonage plans to launch its cut-price call technology in Australia, delivering Telstra (TLS) a new competitive threat as it prepares for its full privatization, The Australian Financial Review reports Thursday. Vonage has won more than 500,000 customers in the U.S. by undercutting giants such as AT&T Corp. (T) and aims to do the same thing in Australia. Vonage has hired an executive search firm to assemble a group of operations, finance and marketing executives to launch the company in Australia in the coming months, the newspaper says, without citing any sources. Vonage wouldn't comment on its plan, but its entrance is expected to shake up the market and push down the price of calls, the report says."
Australian residents will soon be able to join the hundreds of thousands of people in the US, UK and Canada using the Vonage service. With a Wi-Fi equipped Pocket PC and a Vonage SoftPhone account, you'll soon be able to tell Telstra a thing or two about cheap rates. ;-)
