SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - America Online Inc. on Thursday launched its Internet telephone service, jumping into a market that's already crowded with startups, cable operators and even traditional phone companies.
The AOL Internet Phone Service, which is being offered to AOL members and others in 40 markets at first, includes the regular features of traditional telephony and combines them with advanced services that are accessed on a PC over the Internet.
The offering "will uniquely combine advanced tools, competitive pricing plans and AOL's hallmark ease of use to allow mass-market consumers to take full advantage of the revolution underway in Internet voice technology," said Jon Miller, AOL's chief executive.
