WGTBVTW (Got Vonage?)

In our notes to prepare for our podcast each week, Bryan Richard and I always have the acronym WGTBVTW at the end of the list. This is our shorthand for the weekly feature -- "Who's Going To Buy Vonage This Week?" -- an opportunity to have a little fun analyzing why Vonage might or might not sell to any of a dozen different potential bidders...

Now Andy Abramson wants into the game -- "Vonage for Sale. Who's Gonna Buy 'Em" covers old ground! Sure, BellSouth might buy them (we talked about this a month ago) but keep up with the rumors! The latest one is that SBC is going to buy BellSouth! And then rename the combined entity "AT&T" -- so will they have time to pick up puny little Vonage?

And he completely left out of his round up some of our more interesting thoughts - Amazon, or Wal-Mart, or (my personal favorite) AOL...

Welcome to the game Andy. I hope we can all have fun with this for awhile!

The bigger question I keep asking myself is not who wants to buy Vonage, but why?
