Filed in archive Venture Capital by tj on August 26, 2005

"Vonage, which provides residential phone services over the internet, is planning an initial public offering to raise as much as $600m, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.Vonage has never been shy and is sometimes even over marketed (too many people find their service offering too often) - but apparently there has always been an even bigger round coming. Let's see if that pays off for investors.
Citing a person familiar with the matter, the newspaper said Vonage had already raised more than $400m in venture capital from firms that include 3i Group, Bain Capital and Institutional Venture Partners.
There was no immediate comment from the Edison, New Jersey-based company, which declined comment to the Journal.
Vonage provides cheap local and long-distance phone services to about 800,000 households, making it the largest US internet-based phone company. It is currently also making a major push in the UK."
