Vonage Clears the Air on VoIP, Inc. Deal When news of the recent contract between Vonage and VoIP, Inc. broke, there was rampant speculation that it had something to do with Vonage’s legal woes with Verizon Communications, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Brooke Schultz, a Vonage spokeswoman, said that the contract is a “standard network termination deal,” and was struck because Vonage is using the VoiceOne network (owned by VoIP, Inc.) to route their VoIP calls. “VoIP Inc. is not providing technology to Vonage,” Schultz said. “We’re simply dumping minutes onto their network. It’s no different than any other carrier partnerships that Vonage has with companies such as Level 3 or XO Communications. We’ve had dozens of these partnerships for years.” As for the future of Vonage providing service to their customers, Schultz said, “…we believe we will continue to provide telephone service, just as we’ve stated in several press releases.” voip-news.com
