Verizon leaves VOIP
Verizon's Voicewing VOIP service will come to an end on 31 March, says The Inquirer.
Verizon is reportedly eyeing MID-type solutions, such as the newly-announced 'Hub', and services, over fibre optic connections, as part of its next-generation network.
In a similar vein, AT&T also stopped signing people on to its CallVantage service. Deltathree, the company that provides the back-end to Voicewing's VOIP service, has been tanking in the stock exchange for a while, and is currently trading at $0.04 (R0.41).
