Comcast Seeks Edge In Phone Service Cable Firm Aims To Outdo Verizon

Comcast Corp. next week plans to roll out Internet phone service in Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland to try to steal customers from Verizon Communications Inc.

Philadelphia-based Comcast, the largest U.S. cable television provider, will sell its Comcast Digital Voice service for $39.95 a month to customers who buy it with cable and high-speed Internet service, $44.95 for those who buy it with either cable or Internet, and $54.95 on its own.
