If Vonage (NYSE: VG ) has its way, the days of AT&T (NYSE: T ) , Verizon (NYSE: VZ ) , and their big-carrier peers controlling the way area codes are assigned are coming to an end.
- [By Greg Madison]
Vonage Holdings Corp. (NYSE: VG) had a notorious, comically bad IPO. The Internet communications company had ubiquitous advertising and a decent product, Voice over Internet Protocol, which essentially offered phone calls for free or at a low cost over the broadband connections. Vonage raised a very tidy $531 million on the first day. The first day was the best day, and for all intents and purposes the last day. Over the week that followed, the company lost something like 30% of its value. Analysts for MSNBC said the firm "may never be profitable." Vonage won the dubious honor of the single worst trading day for a company in 2006. Shares that debuted at $17 per share are now worth about $3.
