Phone calls via the Internet form the basis of this company's
business. iBasis (formerly VIP Calling) provides wholesale
Internet protocol (IP) telephony for international calls to
telecommunications carriers. Carriers route calls to iBasis,
which forwards the traffic across the Internet -- circumventing
access fees charged by other phone carriers -- and the
phone caller can't tell the difference. The company, which
does not operate its own network, connects to the Internet at
points of presence (POPs) worldwide using equipment from
systems partner Cisco. CEO Ofer Gneezy and EVP Gordon
VanderBrug founded iBasis in 1996. Gneezy and venture
capital firms Charles River and Menlo each have 16%
stakes in iBasis.
