Re: IPO or not; can Vonage compete cable & telco co's
said by sporkme  :If they are being de-prioritized, then the ISPs doing that are opening themselves up to any number of things, like perhaps losing their "common carrier" status. 1st, the ISP's can prioritize their own VOIP traffic higher w/o deprioritizing Vonage. I realize that is a subtle difference, but it may be a legal difference.
2nd, the FCC has decided that cable companies and telcos(when providing broadband services) are NOT common carriers. They are an INFORMATION SERVICE and not bound by common carrier rules.
