It references back to more Valleywag stories which a just a bunch of mis-information. It's like printing a story that the sky is pink, and then referencing back to it in another story. Some executives have left (unheard of, that never happens ) and gasp they ditched their PR firm!!!! (that MUST mean disaster...). It wouldn't surprise me if these negative stories were "planted" by the telcos or established VoIP services, since if ooma succeeds it will take away their business. First, the comparison with phonegnome. Ooma can completely replace your existing phone service, phonegnome is used in conjunction with your phone service. It's apples and oranges, I've used both... Second, the "gasp" cost. Sure, ooma costs $400 for the unit, but it completely eliminates your monthly recurring, which for me was around $30. I recoup that cost in less that 14 months, after that it is gravy. Why people can't pull out their calculator and figure this out is a mystery to me. I suppose if your credit cards are maxed out and you are living from paycheck to paycheck and can't budget your way out of a box, it may be an issue. If that is the case though, perhaps its better you don't have phone service and save the dollars. Third, ooma has a nest egg which will take quite some time to run through. Their costs aren't the same as traditional voip vendors so they won't be running through their cash pile like drunken sailors. Lame, Lame, Lame... The story is lame.
