Vonage® Named Among Top 15 VoIP Companies of 2004
FierceVoIP Honors Vonage as One of the “Fierce 15” Emerging Internet Telephony Firms of the Year”

Edison, NJ – October 12, 2004 – Vonage today announced that it has been selected as a member of FierceVoIP’s annual list of “The Fierce 15”, honoring it as one of the top 15 emerging IP telephony companies for 2004. FierceVoIP, an internationally recognized email newsletter covering the VoIP and Internet telephony industry, evaluated more than 300 VoIP companies based on company vision, revenue potential, quality of deals and partnerships, and competitive market position.

"There are many VoIP service providers – the number grows almost daily – but Vonage is the startup that is best positioned to fight the traditional telephone companies and cable operators," said John Edwards, editor of FierceVoIP. "In a fast growing and rapidly changing industry like VoIP, speed and imagination are often more valuable than size and deep pockets."

"FierceVoIP is recognized for its advanced understanding of VoIP trends and businesses," said Jeffrey A. Citron, chairman and CEO. "Being selected as a member of The Fierce 15 is an honor that highlights Vonage's growing prominence in the VoIP market."

The Fierce 15 celebrates the spirit of being “fierce” – daring to be innovative and aggressive, even in the face of intense competition. The list of Fierce 15 companies is available in today’s issue of FierceVoIP and on the FierceVoIP website at http://www.fiercevoip.com.
