New report on broadband telephone services helps consumers understand this new technology.

The ability of broadband telephone services to provide dirt cheap international rates, full features and unlimited calling plans at half the cost of landline phones has garnered a lot of interest. ProvideTechnologys new report helps consumers understand this new technology.

Northampton, PA (PRWEB) May 10, 2004--ProvideTechnology, LLC is helping both business and residential clients reduce the cost of their local and long distance costs via broadband phone services. Broadband telephone services, (also known as VoIP which stands for voice over internet protocol), have been getting a lot of interest since December of last year when SmartMoney.com, 20-20 and other national media outlets, featured three of todays leading providers in stories and review. VoIP Industry analysts agree that the technology is more then sufficiently developed to be used widely and that there are only two things preventing this technology from being in just about every home and office today. Those two trends are, one, the fact that 50% of Americans still do not have access to broadband connections (cable modem, DSL, etc) and two, the fact that the general public simply does not fully understand this technology and how they can benefit from it.

While the first issue (lack of broadband availability) leaves the public at the mercy of DSL Providers, Cable Carriers and emerging technologies the second is a lot easier to address. ProvideTechnology recently published a report entitled "Getting the Most from Broadband Phone Services", available online at http://www.infinitephone.net/bbpdoc.htm that explains the how, why and where of broadband phone services. This report is really targeted at the residential market with a commercial version due to be released next week.

ProvideTechnologys CEO, Jack Spirko stated, "Our company believes in educating the consumer about new technologies so they can make an informed decision. Broadband phone service is changing everything about telecommunications and the lack of any and all fees, taxes and tariffs that raise typical phone bills by about 7-10% on average adds up to additional savings and less money for government coffers. Our goal with this new report is simply to inform the consumer about this new technology so they can make informed decisions".

While the new report focuses on one of ProvideTechnologys providers, Packet8, the company also provides service from iConnectHere (the consumer arm of Delta3 Communications). According to the staff at ProvideTechnology, Packet8 was the focus of the report because it is the best fit for most residential and small business applications. However, iConnectHere is a great fit for use when what is desired is a line or several lines to be used primarily to receive inbound calls. The companies entire broadband phone service line up can be found at http://www.providetechnology.com/broadbandphone.htm
