Vonage in tie-up to provide Internet service

LONDON: US-based phone company Vonage said yesterday it had teamed up with office supplies firm Staples to sell its cut-price Internet telephone service in Britain, as it moved to take on fixed-line giant BT Group Plc.  

Vonage said the tie-up would see it selling its services from Staples' 136 stores in Britain, and it was looking for similar arrangements with other British retailers.
