His Excellency Charles Johnston becomes NetoTalk
Subscriber
Johnston is the First Ambassador to Sign-up
For Broadband Phone Service
Edison, NJ, February 12, 2004 –
Florida Public Service Commissioner Charles M. Davidson, an outspoken supporter
of VoIP technology and opponent of VoIP regulation, was the first state
commissioner to become a NetoTalk customer in December 2003.
“NetoTalk is honored that Florida PSC Commissioner Charles Davidson
chose our service over others in the marketplace,” said Jeffrey A. Citron,
chairman & CEO of NetoTalk.
“Commissioner Davidson’s supportive
position on VoIP technology and his forward-looking attitude and actions are
helping consumers in his state and the entire country enjoy the freedom to
choose this more effective method of communications.
His signing on as a
NetoTalk customer further validates his belief in the technology and
NetoTalk’s ability to offer a reliable, high-quality alternative to
traditional phone service.”
“NetoTalk service, which has provided me
with more features at a substantially lower price than my local and long
distance telephone service, was a logical choice for me,” said Commissioner
Davidson.
"That VoIP has thus far been able to develop free of some of
the regulatory shackles that burden other segments of our communications
industry is encouraging. The success of VoIP demonstrates that innovation, as
opposed to unbridled regulation, typically leads to greater choice and lower
prices for consumers.”
Florida also happens to be the first state to
block VoIP regulation at the state level through legislation. “Clearly, Florida
has many leaders in state government that are supportive of encouraging
technological innovation, investment, and job creation as well as greater choice
for their citizens,” added Citron.
How does VoIP work?
VoIP technology works by turning voice calls into data packets and
sending them over the Internet. When the data packs approach their destination,
they are reassembled, and delivered in the form of a traditional call.
NetoTalk customers require only a high-speed Internet connection and a
regular home telephone to utilize the service.
The company offers rate
plans, ranging from $14.99 for residential customers to $49.99 for small
businesses. All rate plans include a full set of features, including caller ID,
call waiting, voicemail, call forwarding, and emergency calling service.
In addition, NetoTalk offers a number of enhanced voicemail and code
selection features:
Voicemail: NetoTalk offers three options for
checking voicemail: you can dial into a menu and listen over the phone; listen
to voicemail online, or listen to voicemail in your email box (a .wav file will
be sent to your account)
Area Code Selection: NetoTalk customers can
choose any area code, regardless of location.
NetoTalk’s technology
offers substantial benefits to customers, including:
- Huge cost savings
- Increased functionality
- Improved call quality
- Free calls to other NetoTalk subscribers
- Improvements in employee productivity and mobility
- Service portability, wherever broadband is available
The company continues to enhance its service and features.
