Cnet seems to be anti-Vonage
by ccarey June 2, 2006 12:39 PM PDT
There just seems to be a plethora of anti-Vonage press coming out of Cnet. I don't really understand why. The service works flawlessly most of the time, and despite some of the founders shakey past they were successful in this business venture maybe even despite themselves. Of course any press is good press, but come on, who really cares about Vonage's loopholes? They are the leader in VOIP and have a brand that goes hand in hand with VOIP. I see Skype as a waste of time because its game is played in computer land and everyday customers just dont want to play that way. Anyway give em a break and let them sink or swim on their service not the "character" of their business.

Cnet reported on a problem that is affecting the company -- how is that 'anti-vonage'? Are they only supposed to report on good things and ignore the bad? We already have enough selective reporting in the media, thank you very much.

Besides, when a company screws up like this, violates SEC rules, *and* the stock tanks, costing people thousands of dollars, your comment of "who really cares about loopholes" just shows your ignorance of the situation.

Why don't you go flush a few thousand dollars down the toilet so I can tell you, "who really cares about sewers?"

Looks like another goof up on a decent product provider.

Every company has mistakes that are costly to them. From the looks of it vonnage is no exception. Now this one looks like it will bite them hard if they don't find a way to clean it up and get some quick resolutions.

Best of luck to Vonage and thier purchasers for an agreeable solution and resolution on this problem.
