I think lots of folks joined because of our new Vonage Speed Test. You'll find details below, right below our Vonage Forum post highlights.

In the news, we'll look at Vonage's rising stock price, Vonage's sponsorship of the World Cup broadcasts in the U.S., as well as a news about a newly appointed Vonage senior executive. We'll also go over a Vonage VoIP Forum thread about audio quality of some Vonage calls, and about equipment recommendations for using Vonage over Wi-Fi. And we'll also tell you about our new VoIP Speed Test- a test in which our most frequent posters- and the ones who have helped so many of you with their informative answers- helped me to get ready for launch. Finally, this being Monday we'll meet our newest Vonage Forum Member of the Week.

Welcome to today's edition of the Vonage VoIP Forum Digest. There's a lot of news today- not only about Vonage's clarified position in regard to the obligations of those who bought shares in Vonage's Directed Share Program, but about a new Voice Terminal Adaptor from Vonage and D-Link, Vonage E911 now being available to more than 85 percent of subscribers, as well as Vonage's placement in the top half of a prestigious best new product list.  Today we will highlight a Vonage VoIP Forum thread on wireless router interference, and another from an expert Vonage Forum Member who has built a new voice mail retrieval utility compatible with Vonage.

HOLMDEL, N.J., June 1, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Vonage America Inc., a subsidiary of Vonage Holdings Corp., a leading Internet telephony provider, today announced that over 80 percent of its U.S. subscriber lines now have Enhanced 911 (E911) service -- a feature that automatically associates a physical address with the calling party's telephone number -- and that it is continuing to quickly equip new counties across the nation with E911 everyday.

Over the past two weeks, Vonage has equipped an additional 85 locally-run emergency call centers, in over 30 new counties, with E911 -- bringing the total number of calling centers with emergency 911 service to over 4700.

In June 2005, the FCC gave Vonage, and all Internet-based phone service companies, 120 days to create an E911 system from scratch, and provide all of its customers, wherever they are in the U.S., with E911 service. In that amount of time, Vonage worked closely with local 911 centers, also known as Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), across the country to turn on E911 for as many customers as it could. Currently, Vonage continues to test and turn up new PSAPs which are VoIP-ready every day and will continue to do so until Vonage customers have access to E911.

London, 31 May, 2006 – A selection of the hottest young British athletics talent today outlined their hopes and expectations for success this season, dreaming of glory during a packed summer season. As the members of 'Team Vonage' were officially unveiled at the Millennium Arena in Battersea Park today, the five athletes also highlighted the benefits of their association with UK Athletics' latest sponsor, Vonage, the pioneering Internet telephone company.

Speaking at today's launch, Tim Benjamin said: "I am delighted to be a part of Team Vonage. I have already been able to use the Vonage service and experience its full benefits, especially whilst I was recently training in the US. This service is fundamental to the constant communication needed between athletes and coaches and has allowed me to stay in close touch to those important to me even if I was across the Atlantic! The Vonage service is second to none. I look forward to receiving the full benefits throughout the season as I strive for European gold."
