Vonage On cost per customer, we actually don't know, because in a rather stunning lack
On cost per customer, we actually don't know, because in a rather stunning lack of transparacy, Vonage doesn't disclose the number of customers it has, just the number of "subcriber lines." A lot of the those lines are second lines offered on a free trial basis, but we really don't know.
Aside from that issue, it is not hard to calculate. They have a market cap of 1.4 billion, and 1.4 million "subscriber lines."
There is no deal that will do away with the class actions for the botched IPO's at all, and there are two seperate patent infringement cases, and a takeover will remove at most one of them.
Verizon does not have the money anyway as it is barely able to digest other recent aquisitions.
That is what I would assume too. If we are right, that just means taking over VG would be even more expensive than the 1.4 billion, which is its market cap.
As for Skype, it has a over 100 million users to vonage's 1.4, and completely dominates its market. Vonage is the largest, but there is no network effect to be the biggest Voip, as there is with Skype's internet only phones.
So Skype was valued at about $25 per user, Vonage at $1000.
Anyway you don't seem to disagree too much with my conclusion, just a few marginal quibbles with my evidence.
TIVO
Well maybe they do have a deal with Comcast, but the bottom line for shareholders is that after six years the company is still losing money, and the stock is down 85%.
Vonage is only down about 47% as of now!
