May 1997 / International Bits / Internet Telephony / Finnish Telco Adds Internet Telephony

Telecom Finland is the first telecommunications carrier in Europe backing Internet telephony. The country's largest telecommunications operator has launched a range of voice-over-the-Internet services that include a user location and address server , an on-line phone directory, Web integration and registration, voice mail, shared whiteboards, and a call-billing system.
