We feel strongly it's the upstarts who have a passion for bringing more savings to consumers that can really change the marketplace.

We've set out to building a better Internet phone service. One thing we know about home phone service over the years is that it has come to be less and less of a value as we have more alternatives for communication.

My mom lives in Florida, so she can call me locally because my second phone number has an area code that's local for her. Some people use it for their kids, so they have their own line. I've seen people use the second line just for dating. So family gets one number, and the other number is made available publicly.

One by one they were all becoming shades. Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.

The people here are like a family to me. I view my role with passion and excitement every day.

There is comfort, even among strangers, when people find something they are equally passionate about.
