Although this law suit haw no merit it was obvious that it is coming. I understand the disappointment and the anxiety of those who bought Vonage’s shares, ignoring the obvious risks. However I don’t understand what is the logic in claiming that IPO was based on basically a fraud and hiding of crucial […]

It becomes scarier every day. Not only that human rights being violated, we are taxed for it!
Obviously the issue is more complex than that, as some might jump. National security issues aren’t simple black and white, and we are giving up some of our liberties in sake of security. But it seems […]

Om has, as usual, very good summary about the competition between the cable companies and the telecom companies. I’m just wondering if, and mostly when, are we going to see mergers between cable companies and telecom?
