Vonage is done with. I can't see a company this size, with such low profit margins, high marketing cost, and with low investor interest surviving. Regardless of what your experience with the company and/or their service is, this is a terrible blow to Vonage. Also, considering how the company is open to further litigation against it, I can't see some major company buying them either.
So, Vonage's days may be counted. And, that's too bad because they brought in a lot of competition to companies like Verizon and the cable institutions. When there's no competition, then you have monopolies, and we all know how those work in favor of the consumer.
Well, you're right about that too. And Verizon or Sprint buying them, at a loss to Vonage, would be a disaster because then there won't be any major competitor offering customers a cheaper way to have a land line. Sure there are the likes of Skype. But, those require an entire separate set of equipment and services.

Actually, this makes them ripe for "acquisition" by one of the companies that holds a judgment against Vonage.
