Adelphia Communications, the nation's fifth-largest cable operator, entered into a residential VoIP agreement with AT&T. Under the deal, Adelphia will now serve as AT&T's preferred broadband solution for customers wishing to sign up for AT&T CallVantage Service in areas served by Adelphia. The agreement gives AT&T the ability to facilitate consumer orders for broadband cable service while signing up consumers for AT&T CallVantage Service. Consumers will then receive self-install kits for both services. Customers will also have the option of some professional installation services for an additional fee.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. http://www.callvantage.com/
- Last month, AT&T entered into a VoIP marketing agreement with Cable Television Laboratories (CableLabs) under which households interested in signing up for AT&T CallVantage Service who do not already have broadband access will be referred to CableLabs' cable system operator members.
