Verizon's Hub:Reinventing the Home Phone
The landline replacement offers kid-tracking and other cool Web-enabled features,but it's limited by Verizon's proprietary ways
The wired phone business,aka "plain old telephone service," is dying,with millions of landlines being canceled each year.That "plain old" qualifier may be part of the reason.Not only is wired service redundant for many people who use mobile phones,but these days even low-end mobiles are far more versatile than anything you can get with landline service from Verizon Communications (VZ) or AT&T (T).
Now,Verizon Wireless,a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Britain's Vodafone Group (VOD),is poised to make inroads into the home with a device called the Hub.It's designed to replace your wired phone,swap information with your other Verizon cell phones in unique ways,and provide some limited Internet services as well.It's not a perfect product,but it's further indication of why the traditional phone business looks doomed.
The Hub ($200 after rebate,$35 a month for unlimited calling) is not some newfangled cell phone in a bigger box.At its core,it's a cordless phone that makes use of your existing broadband connection,which can be from any Internet service provider.As such,it makes phone calls and performs other feats over the Internet—similar to the "voice over IP" (VoIP) services offered by such upstart Internet carriers as Vonage (VG) and Skype.
The phone's base station features a seven-inch touchscreen that enables a variety of features,turning the Hub into an Internet message center that displays Web information,such as weather forecasts or movie showtimes.There's also Chaperone,a $10-a-month service designed to help parents keep track of their kids—something no landline could duplicate.
