VONAGE: We put SunRocket out of business

Source: saunderslog.com

Vonage Communications and PR VP Karen Cleeve is probably kicking in-house flack Charlie Sahner under the table right now.  In yesterday’s San Francisco Chronicle, Sahner was soundbited in the following gem:

Sahner said SunRocket failed because it couldn’t meet its customer’s needs for better features and strong customer support.

"We were the leader from the very beginning and we have that critical mass and the scale," Sahner said. "We helped put (SunRocket) out of business. They had a cheap product and they couldn’t compete."

Given all the woes that Vonage has experienced over the last 12 months, this is a pretty hollow boast.
