      <![CDATA[<p>Go check out Johanne's <a href="http://www.tmcnet.com/tmcnet/articles/2005/comcast-voip-calling-cable.htm">Comcast Enters VoIP Market With Pricey Plans</a> article.</p>

<p>Johanne's complaints against high pricing schemes by Comcast have merit.  Reminds me of my griping against Cablevision's pricey VoIP plans.  Which I wrote about <a href="http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/voip/voip-blog/cablevision-optimum-voice.asp">here</a> and <a href="http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/voip/voip-blog/cablevision-price-drop-analysis.asp">here</a></p>

<p>She writes: "The company plans to charge customers $39.95 per month for unlimited domestic service to current customers of its video products, and a whopping $54.95 monthly for new customers. Most VoIP calling plans available to residential customers today average about $29.95 per month."</p>

<p>It doesn't appear that Comcast is discounting their VoIP plan even if you are an existing data customer and they slam you with $54.95 for new customers - OUCH!  At least with Cablevision I determined they were indeed discounting if you went with their Triply Play package.</p>

<p>Perhaps Comcast is discounting if you purchase multiple services, but I trust Johanne did her research on this one and Comcast is not discounting.</p>

<p>This is a perfect lead in to a Triple Play article that I am writing as a cover story for Internet Telephony Magazine.  I'll give a sneek peek at the article in the next day or so in my blog.</p>]]>
