Vonage: Wrong Numbers
Source: andyabramson.blogs.com
Om refers to Vonage’s numbers not adding up and delves into their latest marketing push to get subscribers to add a second line by eliminating sign up costs and waiving cancellation fees. I have to wonder if like Skype casting aside dollars in the short term with calls in the USA being free, if we really have reached a point where calls are almost free for minutes. So by cutting out the sign up and cancellation fees, it’s the same as giving away almost seventy dollars worth of service.
I also predict that Vonage will make some changes really soon, starting with some new hires in key executive roles under the new CEO. With so much money in the bank it’s time for them to hire some veteran (read big time telco) business development, marketing and sales guns with real experience.
