Net2Phone (NASDAQ:NTOP)
Historical Stock Chart
From Mar 2020 to Mar 2025

Net2Phone (NASDAQ: NTOP), a leading Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) provider, is announcing a partnership to provide VoIP
services to Atlantic Broadband, a cable television multiple systems
operator. Atlantic Broadband's Phone Service and its Triple Play
package are now available in an area of central Pennsylvania, where it
serves 145,000 subscribers.
Atlantic Broadband joins Liberty CableVision of Puerto Rico,
Bresnan Communications, Millennium Digital Media, Northland
Communications, CMA Communications and other cable operators who have
selected Net2Phone's end-to-end, managed VoIP solution. Net2Phone
assumes the role of PacketCable integrator and telecom administration
agent, taking accountability for the telephony deployment together
with the Cedar Point SAFARI C3 Multimedia Switching System and the
provisioning and management of the public switched telephony network
(PSTN) elements including local, domestic and international long
distance, operator services and directory assistance.
As part of the end-to-end solution, Net2Phone seamlessly
integrates the VoIP platform into Atlantic Broadband's existing custom
care and billing systems to deliver a fully automated digital phone
and high-speed data provisioning solution including PSTN service
activation (i.e., local service request, number porting, directory
listing, E911, etc.). To complement the solution, Net2Phone provides
24x7 service assurance thereby ensuring the quality of Atlantic
Broadband's telephony offering. Net2Phone will track and monitor voice
quality and network performance metrics from start to finish and will
provide Atlantic Broadband with a real time view of the call traffic
routed over its network.
Cable operators face many competitive threats from both satellite
and DSL operators. To remain competitive and offer its subscribers new
ways to take advantage of innovative services, Atlantic Broadband is
introducing its Triple Play of digital video, high-speed Internet
access and telephony, relying on Net2Phone and the inherent
characteristics of the PacketCable standard in order to deliver a high
quality telephony service. Atlantic Broadband customers benefit from
savings compared to the cost of locally available landline phone
service, in addition to receiving an aggregated Triple Play offering.
The digital phone service also includes a subscriber Internet portal
to manage features, view call detail and listen to voicemail via any
Internet connection.
Atlantic Broadband's full featured Phone Service is offered at
$29.95 per month when combined with any level of either video or
Internet service. Verizon and Sprint offer comparable phone service
and features for $15-$30 more per month. The stand-alone price of
Atlantic Broadband Phone Service is $44.95 per month -- still a better
value than the competitors' comparable services.
"Our partnership with Net2Phone has enabled us to effectively
launch feature-rich, carrier-quality telephone service that gives us a
significant advantage over our phone company and satellite
competitors, neither of which can match our first-to-market Triple
Play package in central Pennsylvania," said Atlantic Broadband CEO
David Keefe.
"Helping Atlantic Broadband maintain its competitive edge by
delivering a high quality, attractively priced, feature rich product
is the principle of the Net2Phone cable strategy," commented Net2Phone
Cable Telephony President, Michael Pastor. "We are pleased with the
expanding number of mid-sized US cable MSOs that have elected to
partner with Net2Phone. As we continue to increase the scale of our US
customer base, we will develop and introduce additional products, such
as commercial services and wireless telephony. By leveraging the
marketing abilities of our cable operator customers, we hope to
effectively target the subscribers most likely to utilize these new
products and services, and provide additional competitive advantages
to our cable operator customers as they roll-out features their
competitors cannot yet provide."
