Broadband phone start-up, SunRocket, has signed up its 200,000th residential subscriber in the race for pure play VoIP providers rto gain enough of a subscriber base to survive.
Targeting the huge US residential market in the faceof mounting competition from Cable companies is a daunting task, but SunRocket president and CEO, Lisa Hook seems happy with the progress.

"Building a 200,000 subscriber base from scratch in a relatively short period of time demonstrates how rapidly consumers are embracing the value, simplicity and enhanced feature set of SunRocket Internet phone service," she said in a company statement. "And while category growth has been impressive - approximately 10 million U.S. consumers subscribe to VoIP - we have barely scraped the surface in a market with more than 50 million broadband households ready, willing and able to make the switch to SunRocket."

In the next developmental phase, SunRocket plans to leverage what it claims to be the industry's only 'all-IP network' to deliver a host of compelling home-centric communications products, services and features to consumers.

"Over the past year SunRocket has successfully assembled the category's most dynamic and sound management team, featuring leaders with a proven track record for scaling a business and carving a sustainable path to profitability," said the CEO. "With all of these pieces in place and a steadily growing market, SunRocket continues to stand out among a small handful of entrants communicating the value proposition of VoIP to consumers in cities and neighborhoods throughout the country."
