the U.S. population.


I-Link claims to have the largest IP telephony network in the U.S.,
bringing enhanced services to customers in more than 200 cities. Today’s

“Now that we have proven that we can successfully layer our IP technologies

communications services and great long-distance rates to the majority of
the U.S. population via our IP telephony network,” Edwards said.
