BY JOHANNE TORRES


Despite threatening thoughts about heavy regulation catching up with VoIP as soon as next week, the technology keeps spreading out around the country at a steady speed. Joining the crowd comes broadband voice and data communications provider Covad Communications Group Inc. announcing the availability of business-class Covad VoIP in 14 new markets across the U.S.




The company will now service the cities of Austin, TX; Birmingham, AL; Burlington, NC; Dayton, OH; Grand Rapids, MI; Greensboro, NC; Holland, MI; Jacksonville, FL; New Orleans, LA; Ogden, UT; Orlando, FL; Provo, UT; Salt Lake City, UT and San Antonio, TX. With these additional markets, Convad VoIP bumps up its coverage to a whopping 125 major metropolitan markets nationwide, including more than 900 cities by the end of this year.

"VoIP is the most significant alternative ever to traditional phone service, and Covad VoIP is a high quality, reliable communications service with features that, until now, have not been available at affordable prices for small businesses," said Charles Hoffman, president and chief executive officer of Covad.
