KEY POINTS:
Telecom NZ has launched a video home phone, the Ojo, following its roll-out of a new generation of broadband internet.
The phone is the result of a partnership between Telecom and Philadelphia-based Worldgate, under which customers buy the handset from Telecom and WorldGate will provide the calling service, Telecom consumer marketing general manager Kevin Bowler said.
The phone, costing $749.99, can be used anywhere in the world using a standard fixed-line broadband connection, router and WorldGate subscription.
The monthly service fee of US$14.95 ($22.74) allows customers to make as many calls as they like within the their allocated broadband allowance, Mr Bowler said.
