I was traveling today, so I read this news just now. It seems that rumors of the past days suddenly became reality.
Sunrocket, the Vonage alternative in the US, has stopped their operations today. GigaOm reports an internal email that went out today:
Unfortunately this email contains very bad news. We have just been informed that any and all last ditch efforts to keep operations running as well as a potential sale of the company have not gone through and that SunRocket will cease operations at COB today. As such, today is my last day and everyone else you may have worked with at SunRocket. … Regarding outstanding and future invoices: Sherwood Partners out of Palo Alto will be handling the close down of all invoices, current and outstanding.
That’s all. Sunrocket is no more. Who will be the next “digital pots” VoIP provider to understand that is really challenging to compete with traditional telcos? A lot of money invested, but only one of the many bets of the VC firms.
