Still, saying they will repay the investment banks for any losses is ridiculous. If customers don't pay, Citi and Goldman should just sue them directly. It's not Vonage's responsibility to pay off their bankers just because they feel bad about how the IPO went. Yeah, they clarified their comments since it fueled much speculation.

Looks like Vonage will force customers to buy the IPO. I'm with you, Chad, time to get on the dark side of this one. Sorry, meant to add some text there.

That is, I can envision a scenario in which the $1700 the customer pays for a round lot might exceed what they might othewise pay the company for service over their lifetime.
