Vonage Hangover....

Vonage has taken a lot of lumps recently. And this post is not intended to continue the beating.... However, I found an interesting article from Cassimar Medford about how the Vonage legal decisions could have an adverse impact on venture capital funding for VoIP companies.

In an era where Wall Street dislikes, even discourages, investment in untested, new ideas; I found the concept that venture capital financing of VoIP improvements could "chill" the development of VoIP or at least the public development of VoIP. I would guess that Google and Skype will continue their developments, but VoIP's development could be slowed considerably if different forms of investment, and associated research, are not made available.
