Vonage & Comcast Work On Standards (VG, CMCSA, CMCSK)
Published:
Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCSA) (NASDAQ: CMCSK) and Vonage Holdings Corporation (NYSE: VG) have announced a collaborative agreement this morning to address "the reasonable network
management of Internet services."
Comcast committed to work together with Vonage to ensure that network management techniques are chosen that effectively balance the need to avoid network congestion with the need to ensure that over-the-top VoIP services like Vonage work well for consumers.
Keep in mind that this is more of a protocol working arrangement for open standards or "platform-neutral" rather than a contract collaboration. It might be more of confederacy than anything solid. Comcast has announced other collaborations with BitTorrent, Inc. and Pando Networks, as well as participation in the P4P Working Group and elsewhere.
This isn’t even helping Vonage stock today. Shares are down 3% at $1.55 right after the open.

Is Your Money Earning the Best Possible Rate? (Sponsor)
Let’s face it: If your money is just sitting in a checking account, you’re losing value every single day. With most checking accounts offering little to no interest, the cash you worked so hard to save is gradually being eroded by inflation.
However, by moving that money into a high-yield savings account, you can put your cash to work, growing steadily with little to no effort on your part. In just a few clicks, you can set up a high-yield savings account and start earning interest immediately.
There are plenty of reputable banks and online platforms that offer competitive rates, and many of them come with zero fees and no minimum balance requirements. Click here to see if you’re earning the best possible rate on your money!
