Vonage cut off on stock opening: Web phone firm sees IPO shares plunge.
Byline: Eric Benderoff and Mike Hughlett
May 25--The disappointing Wall Street debut of what might have been the next high-tech darling offered a startling look at how fast opinions can change in the digital age.

But on its first day of trading, Vonage was judged to be just another company peddling a me-too commodity. Met with tremendous skepticism, its initial public offering tumbled nearly 13 percent. Shares that were priced at $17 on Tuesday evening shed $2.10 on Wednesday to close at $14.85.
"The biggest concern investors have, and the biggest problem I have, is the level of competition in the voice telephone business," said Todd Rethemeier, a stock analyst at Soleil Securities.
