Verizon readies national broadband network

edited April 2004 in Science & Tech
Verizon Communications reported on Wednesday that it has finished building out its national broadband network, and it plans to begin offering new data and voice services over the system later this month.
The telecommunications giant will utilize the broadband network to market a range of services to large customers, including much-awaited voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, capabilities, which promise customers major savings by sending telephone calls over the Internet.

Additionally, the company said it will launch a number of national broadband services during the next 30 days, including its initial IP virtual private network, which customers can use in place of a traditional VPN and which may also serve as a foundation for future Verizon VoIP offerings. The new broadband network will also serve as the backbone for Verizon's local-access Internet service provider and phone service.
