One-Box Solution Now Available
American Telecom Services and Broadband National have joined forces to offer customers a “one-box solution” for VoIP and high speed Internet service.
Customers who buy an Internet phone from ATS will receive instructions on how to sign up for Broadband National’s ISP marketplace service, including information on the services available in their area and the skinny on different pricing and service plans.
ATS gets a fee from Broadband National for each service account activated and will share a percentage of that with retail partners. This is the first time such a bundled VoIP/phone package has been made available.
American Telecom Services CEO Bruce Hahn said in a statement yesterday, “American Telecom Services wants consumers to be able to take advantage of the benefits and savings of Internet calling. Our arrangement with Broadband National contributes to this by offering every eligible retail customer who currently has no service or only dial-up access the option of purchasing high speed services from the broadband provider of their choice. We believe that through this offering, many consumers will realize that the combination of broadband Internet and Internet phone service will save them hundreds of dollars each year compared to dial-up Internet and traditional phone service. In the end, they will not only have a faster Internet connection for data, but also far more calling features than they ever had before with their new Internet telephone service.”
