Interesting... Vonage is planning to add 600 new employees to their payroll. Perhaps they've finally heard all the complaints in the VoIP Forums and other online forums about their poor customer service and have decided to do something about it. Let's see how true this press release turns out to be. 600 employees is not chump change by any means. Unless they plan on having a large direct sales force in those 600 jobs, I would expect a drop in Vonage's revenue numbers due to the extra payroll.

Here's the release:
