IBBS scoops up VoIP provider SinglePipe

Integrated Broadband Services (IBBS) is bringing VoIP capabilities in-house with the purchase of SinglePipe, which operates its own facilities-based VoIP network.

The two have been working together for more than two years and formalized their business relationship in April 2009, when they announced an integration of SinglePipe's VoIP services with IBBS' back-office systems.

Poll of its customers earlier this year

IBBS said it had conducted a poll of its customers earlier this year and discovered that nearly 70 percent of its customers were looking for new services and support to penetrate business markets, specifically commercial services and VoIP.

Perhaps not coincidentally, since early this year, SinglePipe has been tailoring its marketing message to attract cable operators looking to provide business-grade VoIP.
