Voice over Internet Protocol, or Internet telephony, service provider Vonage DigitalVoice has inked its first resale pact with a cable provider. Armstrong Cable plans to resell Vonage's unlimited local and long-distance calling plans, which cost $40 a month, Vonage announced Monday. Armstrong sells broadband to customers in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia and Kentucky.

The agreement marks the first time that a cable provider using fiber-optic networks has begun reselling Vonage's calling plans. Up until Monday, only telephone companies and others offering broadband over digital subscriber lines were reselling Vonage's service.
