Within the space of a few hours, two separate New Jersey-based Voice
over Internet Protocol providers announced their intention to move
forcefully into relatively uncharted space: the video telephone.

First, Edison, N.J.-based Vonage Holdings Corp announced that the
company had struck an agreement with video telephone manufacturer
Viseon to provide video services, asking that the news be embargoed
until Thursday.

A few hours later, Jamesburg, N.J.-based VoIP provider Voice Pulse
issued a press release announcing it would be incorporating video
service into its offerings in the second half of 2005.

The twin announcements are not coincidental. According to Ravi
Sakaria, CEO of VoicePulse, his company decided to disclose its video
service soon after he received a call from a reporter at the Bergen
Record, a newspaper in northern New Jersey.

"We built our network for video from Day 1 and we'd been getting ready
to announce it for a while," said Sakaria. "So when I got the
call from the reporter, we decided to move ahead with the
announcement."
