The Internet telephony market is only just beginning to heat up, and the market is largely up for grabs as cable companies, ISPs and telcos jockey for position. There's a lot of competition, but AOL may be in a good position to nudge consumers into VoIP, as the company is already experienced at holding the hands of its mostly non-technical customers. AOL Internet Phone Service is more expensive than plans offered by market leader Vonage, even at the "low" introductory rate, but hey -- overpriced service has never stopped AOL in the past.
