Nortel, a leader in voice over IP services is bringing the joys of free long distance and low monthly phone bills to more people after transitioning North American regional partners from standard to VoIP phone service capability. Silver Star Communications (Wyoming based) and Emily Telephone Company will be seeing the VoIP phone service switch plus other multimedia enhancements that Nortel already offers.

This is a small business VoIP opportunity for all subscribers of the companies featured in the transition. Like the transition from traditional DVDs to Blu Ray, standard phone line to web based calling is the future. With prices so low, there is no excuse not go with a voice over IP phone service.

Customers want a high quality good that has features like video conferencing for a low price and that is exactly what Nortel is bringing to the table. I imagine that their stock is increasing in value after this news broke. Making VoIP available to places other than urban hubs is a smart move. For those interested in starting a small business there is no better way to cut communication costs then with voice over IP.
