Expect ot see vonage ads during the super bowl, they are trying to go
public (one reason why sprint filed the voip patent lawsuit against them
(not the RTI one over LCR) claiming sprint owns 100 patents that cover
voip in general)...  Sprint filed right after rumors started to surface
about backers for the IPO.

With 1.25M customers and the cheapest plan being $25/mo (last time I
looked anyway) and many customers either making additional calls that
arent free, additional lines that are extra, additional whatever ...
Vonage has a high gross income, although I dont know what their net
income is, they likely have enough for a bowl ad.
