...One of the main issues for net telephony providers lies in the fact that customers will need to have a broadband connection, which in turns means many will also be paying a monthly rental to BT for that line.
One solution going by the somewhat exciting name of "naked DSL", could change this.
Naked DSL is a buzzword in the industry at the moment. Basically it would mean that people could pay for their broadband subscription without having also to pay for line rental.......
According to Vonage, regulator Ofcom is considering the issues and it is hopeful changes can be introduced in the next 18 months.
