Vonnage given a stay in court

[SUBMAN1]

I guess people won't have their phones shut off just yet, and Vonnage is free to sign up new customers.

I used to sell telecom also, and that business is a bigger scam than office supplies.

Basically, it costs a telecom company about $25 per month just to have a customer, whether that customer is a business or a consumer. Everything over $25 per month is profit. The cost of maintaining the network is a flat fee regardless of the number of users.

So the whole goal is to get customers to pay more than $25.

It's sort of like an airline packing as many folks on a plane as possible to maximize profits.
