Like it was said once before in the comments section of Gigaom in 2005, Carlos Bhola was right; Vonage couldn’t make it without significant wireless or MSO partners.

The only profit left in Vonage at this point are the rights to the book and movie. What a fun book it will be to read when it comes out.
