Babytel takes aim at U.S. cable market


CHICAGO – Canadian VOIP provider babyTEL is expanding into the United States market to offer regional cable companies, Internet service providers, network integrators and others its VoIP services and products, the company announced this week.

“It is still early, but clearly the beginning of mass adoption of VOIP (voice over Internet protocol) services by consumers and business is here,” said Stephen Dorsey, babyTEL president and CEO. “Regional cable companies and ISPs must offer their customers VOIP or risk losing them to others who will.

“As a ‘provider of providers’, babyTEL has built a robust VOIP network that has already attracted the interest of several ISPs in the U.S. because each recognizes that through private-label branding we can turn them into ‘phone companies’ virtually overnight. For network integrators, reselling babyTEL means they can offer customers a total turnkey solution and generate recurring revenue instead of simply a one-time sale,” Dorsey added.

BabyTEL officially launched into the U.S. at the Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Chicago.

With 15 years experience providing carrier-grade communications services to telcos and large U.S. corporations, babyTEL has built VOIP services that are “best of breed” and telco-grade, says the company’s release. BabyTEL intends to leverage its success and experience in Canada into helping regional cable companies and ISPs and network integrators compete quickly and effectively in the U.S. VoIP marketplace.

In addition to offering customers the benefits of VoIP and its value-add services with significant savings over traditional telephone companies, babyTEL builds brand loyalty and a new recurring revenue stream for private labelers and resellers.
