Net Phone Company To Offer Flat Rate

A start-up Internet telephone company called LDNet Inc.
expects to launch May 1 with
a $19.95 per month
flat-rate, long-distance calling plan.

The Cleveland-based company will offer business and
consumer phone-to-phone
service among Akron, Cleveland
and Columbus, Ohio; Baltimore; Chicago; Detroit; New
York; St. Louis; and
Washington, D.C.

"We're not looking at this as long-distance. We're
looking at it as IP [Internet
Protocol]-based telephone," said
Mitchell Marx, sales manager at LDNet.

The plan allows for 100 telephone calls of any duration
within a 30-day period. Calls
made beyond the limit will
cost 25 cents each. Marx said his pricing model averages
4.9 cents per minute for
transmission within the Net.
Calls bound for areas outside its IP network will cost
6.9 cents per minute.

Seven-employee LDNet is negotiating call termination
with other Internet telephone
carriers, such as Qwest
Communications International Inc., to expand the number
of available destinations.

LDNet is using IP gateways manufactured by Franklin
Telecom Corp. on a backbone
operated by Megsinet Inc.

"I would certainly expect this to be something we'll see
more of," said Hilary Mine,
director of Internet research at
Probe Research Inc.
