The service allows users to make telephone calls via a broadband Internet connection for less money than regular telephone service. VoX Communications Corp. is recently featured in the Orlando Business Journal, November 18, 2005 edition, “company is gobbling up as many contracts and partners as fast as it can with the idea of becoming a top five player within the industry next year, right alongside the Vonages and Packet8s of the world.

"It's all about building value, and our immediate goal is to build value for our shareholders and employees," says Mark Richards, VoX's 45-year-old president and chief information officer.
