Well, I WAS seeing a decline in spam until my email address got released by Gawker (along with my crappy throwaway password).
I'm getting several hundred a day again now.
Well, I'm a realist. I can stay with Vonage, buy large chunks of their stock, walk around town with a big orange Vonage box strapped to my chest, but all of those things are going to do very little besides make me poorer and at some point have no phone service.
Remember the key point - VoiceWing service is CHEAPER than Vonage.
It works fine for voice, which is all I really care about. I receive less than one fax a year, and I have a eFax number for that.
Fight the good fight all you want. Verizon will continue to squash smaller companies forever - I saw it in the early DSL days, we're seeing it in VoIP now, and I'm sure we'll see it in broadband, TV, etc. in the future.
Verizon already has a competetive option - VoiceWing. I switched from Vonage to VoiceWing to avoid having my home office phone cut off when the DOJ lays the smackdown on Vonage, and to future-proof myself from Verizon systematically suing all the VoIP providers into non-existence.
VoiceWing's comparable offering is actually three bucks a month cheaper than Vonage.
Unfortunately, the service is not as good - voice quality is ok, but faxes fail, and their website (actually, every Verizon website) is as slow as if I was on a 9600 baud modem.
I've heard comments online that Verizon won't buy out Vonage since they don't have coverage in all the areas that Vonage services, but hey, it's VoIP, not POTS....

Dude, you're gonna be stuck there forever.
Just ask the people who deliver ice to houses.
Privileged Identity Management software exists that helps to solve this problem. Investigate.

Go to bed, George, you're drunk.
Ok, so what if it IS a pulsar? Don't leave me hanging like that, you know I'm too lazy to read the article.
Just a reminder kids - stay in school - LAW SCHOOL.
