Phone Start-Up to Unveil System
To Let Internet Firms Carry Calls

The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition -- December 3, 1997
By JARED SANDBERG
Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

NEW YORK -- An AT&T-backed start-up plans to unveil a system that
will allow Internet companies to carry calls that connect people using
traditional phones. The move accelerates the threat that low-cost Internet
calling poses to long-distance pricing.

The wholesale service from ITXC Corp., expected to be announced
Wednesday, will allow companies to offer Internet phone calls anywhere in
the world via ordinary phones. Today, most Internet calling systems require
at least one of the callers to use a personal computer that contains special
software, though a few specialized services allow phone-to-phone Internet
calling in limited areas.
