  • SinglePipe Restructures Management Team


    Jeff Carr has been appointed CEO of VoIP provider SinglePipe as part of a strategic restructuring to support a market and product expansion.

    Matt Phillips, who had been CEO, shifts to vice chairman of corporate development for the Kentucky-based managed services provider, while Cynthia Carpenter has been named as president and COO.

    Carr, who joined SinglePipe in 2008 as COO, was a partner in Accenture’s Global Technology Consulting practice.

    Priot to that he was COO of ZoomTown, a Cincinnati Bell unit that provides Internet and data services to consumers and businesses.

    George Tronsrue, SinglePipe’s executive chairman, said he was confident Carr would accelerate the company’s growth.

    As COO, Carpenter has responsibility for sales, marketing, product management and customer operations. Before this, she was founder and president of Wheelhouse Strategies, a strategic marketing consultancy targeting venture-backed startup technology companies.

    Before that she had marketing and operations positions at Level 3 Communications, Cablevision Systems, High Speed Access Corp., Time Warner Cable and Starz Encore Group.

    In April, SinglePipe raised USD $5.1 million in equity funding, led by existing investor Chrysalis Ventures and also involving Meritus Ventures and the Kentucky Science and Technology Corp.

  • Vyke: VoIP market "Doing Well"


    VoIP provider Vyke expects to see a strong performance over the rest of 2009 as demand for the technology remains strong despite the global recession.

    While the company has announced a wider full-year 2008, which it said is due to acquisitions, it remains confident that the VoIP market is doing well.

    Vyke chairman Tommy Jensen said they expects to deliver results in line with original expectations over the course of 2009.

    He said that despite the difficult global economic situation and the work involved in the internal migration of operations from US to UK, the first five months of 2009 had progressed well.

    "We are optimistic about the organic and acquisitive growth opportunities currently available in the market," he said.

    VoIP has become an increasingly mainstream tool for businesses and individuals alike as access to high-speed broadband services becomes more widespread.

    Vyke highlights – Preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2008:

    • Gross billing on all operations increased by 46% to GBP £39.0 million from £26.8 million in the previous year
    • Gross billing on continuing operations increased by 65% to GBP £30.0 million from £18.2 million in the previous year
    • Loss before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) on continuing operations: GBP £3.3 million (2007: loss £2.6m)
    • Loss for the year on continuing operations: GBP £4.4 million (2007: £3.0 million)
    • Loss for the year including discontinued operations: GBP £6.6 million (2007: £3.6 million)
    • Callserve Communications Limited and Iios Limited acquired in first quarter 2008
    • Disposal of loss making legacy businesses in second half of the year

  • FCC Slashes Number Porting Delay To 1 Day


    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US has cut the time allowed for wireline, mobile and certain VoIP providers to transfer a customer’s existing telephone number to a new provider from four to one business day.

    The move will make it easier for consumers to switch voice service providers.

    Delays in number porting cost consumers money and hamper the selection of providers based solely on price, quality and service.

    Now the FCC is requiring all providers – with the exception of small carriers – to implement the new number porting interval within nine months from the time the Commission receives key input from the North American Numbering Council (NANC).

    This is due 90 days after the effective date of the order.

    Small carriers have 15 months after the NANC recommendation to implement the new interval.

    In a second order, the FCC expanded consumer protections for customers of interconnected VoIP providers.

    Interconnected VoIP providers are those whose customers can place calls to and receive calls from the public telephone network.

    These providers are now required to notify customers before they discontinue, reduce or impair service, as conventional providers currently must do.

  • Vonage Confident of Growth Despite Subscriber Loss


    VoIP provider Vonage had a revenue increase of 9 per cent to USD $900 million in 2008.

    However, reporting on its fourth-quarter and full-year 2008 earnings report, the company said it had lost a net of 14,700 subscribers in Q4.

    Net loss excluding debt extinguishment costs narrowed to USD $34 million from USD $93 million excluding certain charges.

    GAAP net loss was USD $65 million or $0.41 per share in 2008.

    Marc Lefar, Vonage’s CEO, said the company had improved its financial position throughout 2008 – to the extent that it delivered adjusted operating profit and positive cash from operations for a full year for the first time.

    Noting the loss of subscribers, he was optimistic about Vonage’s business model, which he said was solid and the market opportunity for digital voice remains robust.

    "While our financial performance was sound, we fell short in our ability to substantially grow our subscriber base," he said.

    "However, we are confident Vonage has significant opportunities to create future value for shareholders."

    Lefar said a range of initiatives were being lined up for launch, including:

    • improving the customer experience
    • enhancing distribution and marketing
    • improving quality and reliability
    • initiating new products and features
    • optimizing our cost structure
    • improving talent management

    Lefar said he was confident these will drive Vonage forward as a business model poised to achieve significant new growth.
