| reply to hottboiinnc Re: This is a deal breaker for Vonage.
said by hottboiinnc :Cable providers may like to add some of the customers to their Digital Phone, AT&T would like some for their CallVantage and VZ would like the rest. Buying a bankrupted business just for the customers is a risky proposition, at best. It'd be kind of like buying a company because you want to have a certain group/type/calibre of employees working for you.
You'd normally buy trashed business for its fixed assets (i.e., assets that can't just up an leave).
