TW Telecom’s VoIP for Grown ups

Time Warner Telecom is launching a VoIP-over-Metro Ethernet service targeting the corporate customers in 21 markets. Michael A. Rouleau, senior vice president — Strategy and Business Development for Time Warner Telecom says, “Our strategy is to layer VoIP-based business-class solutions on our robust metro Ethernet platform.” One can expect more such enterprise quality services in coming months. I was talking to Nextone president Raj Sharma yesterday and he pointed out that while consumer services get a lot of attention, the real action is in the business market, where money savings are substantial enough for customers to take VoIP seriously.
