More than 4 million consumers in the U.S. market alone subscribed to broadband telephony by the end of 2005. Growth is expected to exceed 40% per year in the coming years. Cable operators should look to have a telephony offer in the marketplace sooner rather than later or this profitable opportunity will have passed them by. This is especially true for operators who have made the capital investment to upgrade their plant to offer data services. VoIP telephony uses much of the same infrastructure, leveraging the data services investment and making it more profitable in a shorter period of time.

Net2Phone is poised to help companies protect and grow their business with a market-tested telephony solution engineered for quality and delivered according to the operator’s schedule. With Net2Phone’s CableLine or VoiceLine solution, operators can increase top-line revenue, protect their subscriber base and expand their product offerings quickly while leveraging in-place infrastructure. And, as new VoIP capabilities are developed, Net2Phone will integrate them into each service.

An outsourced telephony solution from Net2Phone minimizes an operator’s operational impacts by:

• Leveraging existing cable plant
• Limiting operational resources required
• Limiting telephony knowledge requirements
• Leveraging existing back-office capabilities
• Providing 24x7 Network Operations Center
• Providing web-based customer sales and service tools and training
• Providing self-branded, web-based subscriber account management site
• Leveraging Net2Phone’s continuous product development and service enhancements.
