Keycom Deploys VoIP Across 28 Universities in UK

British university students on a tight budget can find it difficult to manage their communications costs when they don't know how much telephone service or internet time they need to spend for their academic and social lifestyles. Keycom is a service provider of pre-paid and un-metered telephone and data communications for more than 50,000 students. It recently deployed a voice-over-IP (VoIP) service for 28 British universities, saving itself money on leased lines and making a pre-paid service available to more students. When investors phone up to ask when they can raise even more money for the next voice-over-IP (VoIP) deployment project, you know that VoIP has finally been accepted as a trusted service delivery technology. That's exactly what investors in Keycom did after the company deployed VoIP services at 28 academic locations in just six weeks in a £600,000 project (the pilot was meant to be just six sites originally).
