Approximately 45,000 Northeast wireline unit workers of the two unions involved – the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the Communications Workers of America – believe that Verizon Communications wants too many concessions, and have refused the company’s proposals to make employees pay more for healthcare, change work rules, and cut benefits and pensions.

SMBs find Opportunity in SIP Trunking

Typically, a traditional company might have a local Public Switched Telephone Network gateway, a line dedicated to routing voice calls to the outside – typically a PRI – and an Internet circuit dedicated for Web and data use – often a T1. Generally the data circuit is underutilized; however, by using Voice over Internet Protocol you eliminate the need for a PRI altogether, leaving only the T1 circuit and the necessary number of SIP trunks.
