Cox Communications Issues a White Paper: Voice over Internet Protocol: Ready for Prime Time

--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

ISSUE: With multiple trials and one commercial VoIP
technology launch complete, Cox believes that VoIP
is ready for prime time. How will this impact its
telephone strategy for 2004 and beyond?
NEWS: Today, Wednesday, May 12, Atlanta-based Cox
Communications, Inc. announced it has published to
its web site (www.cox.com/pressroom) a white paper
outlining its telephony strategy and deployment of
VoIP technology.

PERSPECTIVE: VoIP technology has arrived. Driven in large part
by Cox's commitment to customers and quality of
service, Cox's VoIP architecture clearly
differentiates the company from many other VoIP
technology offerings that are currently available
in the marketplace.

-- With more than 1 million residential telephone customers and
100,000 commercial customer locations, Cox will continue to
extensively leverage its back-office systems, experienced
people and processes for further VoIP market launches -
without stranding the capital it has invested in its
circuit-switched operations.

-- Cox will expand its phone service footprint via VoIP to
commercial customers, thereby furthering its leadership
position in voice amongst its peers in the commercial telecom
marketplace.

-- The regionally distributed architecture allows Cox to
introduce phone services to customers in markets where the
economics do not support the cost of a circuit-switched
architecture.

-- In the white paper, Cox outlines its strategy for deploying
VoIP; highlights its VoIP architecture; examines cost
comparisons of VoIP vs. circuit-switched technology; and
highlights its success as a telecom provider.

WHO: David Pugliese, vice president of product
marketing and management will be available for
interviews about VoIP, and Cox Communications'
overall telephone strategy.

WHERE: The white paper is available online at
