A little investigative reporting if anyone cares:

Sunrocket's corporate HQ is (was?) 1 block from where I work in Tyson's Corner at:

8045 Leesburg Pike
Suite 300
Vienna, VA 22182

I was wondering if Teleblend's asset grab would happen to include any of this office space or equipment so I stopped by today and can report the following:

The Sunrocket offices covered the entire 3rd floor of the office building. There are no signs on the 3rd floor doors, and all doors are locked. From the elevators, you can't even select the 3rd floor button, it won't even stop at that floor for anyone (keycard or not). So the place is dark. No-one is there from Sunrocket or Teleblend. (or anyone else.)

Office building directory still shows Sunrocket listed for Suite 300

I stopped by the management offices and tried to get more information. Basically they just confirmed that Sunrocket was gone, not coming back, and that there are no indications of anyone taking over their space at this time.

Nothing very earth shattering, but there it is.

You figure that the "new company" will have a different corporate HQ.

I'm sure if anybody knows the physical location of SR's equipment we will find out that TB is running the show.

And for the record I don't think it's a conspiracy or anything lol.
They saw a huge oppurtunity pick up a company that's ready to go complete with a customer base. If I had money I would have hopped on this in a heartbeat! Could make F---ing millions!

As I said earlier I would go by the office today and I did too. darqice How did you get on the 3rd floor? I think I had luck on my side.

I made it into the building and onto floor 3!!!!!

Go to yahoo groups the group name is Sunrocketisdead.
or straight to the photos this link might work:

»tech.ph.groups.yahoo.com ··· wse/7469

I took pictures and spoke to the woman from the building's cleaning crew. (She was a sunrocket customer too.)

Pictures should be uploaded to the group already. I am not sure if the message I posted is, which expalins what I saw.

This has to be one of the top 10, most costly real estate areas in Washington DC. They share the building with Tiffany's. Call me simple, but I would think that a young and small Voip company would not need that classy/flashy of a place to rent. The rent must have been amazing and I can't imagine that they have all that may customers, clients, etc... come into the office. But that could be the lawyers that were running the business.

I don't care if the place was run out of a basement of a house if they had good service and used that as a way to keep costs down!

As request by some I figured out how to post the pictures of the SunRocket office I took tonight. So that you would not have to join a yahoo group.

I posted the pics on SunRocket forum:
