[Andyabramson.blogs.com] VoIP Watch: Lastly, their only real big spending threats, AT&T and AOL, both have gone to ground with their marketing of VoIP, leaving the roadway open to Earthlink, SunRocket, Packet 8 and Broadvoice and then a cast of small players, most of whom could be rolled up by Vonage very quickly.
