AT&T Delays Lightspeed VoIP Deployment

Mark Sullivan writes on Light Reading:

Project Lightspeed, AT&T Inc.'s new fiber-based services bundle, will launch in San Antonio next month and will contain broadband and video service -- but VOIP won't be a part of the June launch, Light Reading has learned.

The carrier is, however, gearing up to roll out residential VOIP services in a huge way as part of its multibillion-dollar access network makeover. AT&T won't say when it will start offering VOIP, but it has acknowledged that it's in its playbook. “We’ve said that we will offer VOIP services as part of our U-Verse portfolio, but I really can’t get into any more detail at this time,” says AT&T spokesman Wes Warnock.
