Comments on: Vonage in legal tussle with Nortel

Vonage is getting sued--again. This time telecommunications equipment maker Nortel Networks says the company has violated nine patents related to its Internet phone service.

Am I wrong about this?

Shouldn't have Vonage's revenue been somewhere around $37,500,000-$62,500,000? Where are they getting $211,000,000 coming from? If everyone signed up for Vonage's $15 plan, you get the first figure. Or if everyone for the $25 plan you get the other? What other source of revenue does Vonage have that made up the other $160,000,000 of revenue?

fuzzy math

No corporation would calculate revenue in that matter. If you just count new subscribers, then fine, but that is not the only thing that goes into revenue calcs.

Outage over the weekend

I just switched voip providers, Vonage customer service sucks, and they had a nation wide outage over the weekend that pushed me to go with a new voip provider.

One of these days...

...we're going to see a headline along the lines of "hitman hired by telecom industry shoots Verizon CEO in the head".

I gotta give Vonage props, though - they're still managing to survive (which is good, because I'd really hate to have to be forced into Comcast's crappy, expensive and only half-working phone service).

Poor Vonage...

Oh wait, they don't even bother offering service in my area so, OH
WELL! I'll not miss them once they're bankrupt.
