Thinking about the situation that international students must deal with, Nahum Avila, accelerated MBA student, developed EP Lines, a broadband phone company that helps serve as a link between students and their families.
EP Lines uses the Voice over the Internet Protocol to make a high-speed Internet connection serve as a regular phone line. The company provides each customer an adapter, which turns analog audio from a phone into digital audio that can be transmitted through the Web.
Students may get a line for their home in El Paso and another line for their parents in their hometown. As a result, calls will be charged as local calls without long distance fees. UTEP international students who currently use EP Lines to call their parents come from many different countries including Korea, India and Mexico.
