I think the final nail in this coffin is the Vonage banner ad/masthead which describes them as "the broadband phone company." If they're going to claim to be a phone company, it's reasonable that phone company regulations regarding 911, outage reporting, etc should all apply to them. David Barak Need Geek Rock?
