specially-priced offer to transition their Internet phone service to
Packet8.
Under terms of the agreement, Packet8 will waive all regular
start up costs associated with its residential service plans plus

Packet8 is making arrangements with its network service providers
to rapidly port SunRocket phone numbers to Packet8’s network
in order to minimize the disruption that this transition may cause
to their communication services. SunRocket subscribers will be
able to choose from several plans, including the Packet8 $199
Freedom Annual Plan which they may already be familiar with."
