<div>i would also look at vonage's IPO filing and look for some analysts valuations, that will give you a good start. Any analyst worth beans will do a valuation of a telco per subscriber, usually using benchmarks. A quick look at vonage's filing shows an ARPU of about $26 per subscriber (look at some mobile phone providers for benchmarks)...you can extrapolate based on that as well.

<div>In general, you should use many approaches (NPV of future cash streams, ARPU benchmarks, etc.) and then try to reconcile them.</div>
