Vonage Holdings Corp. said it is investigating new potential incident
of its Voice over IP service being blocked, this time by a cable
television company that also provides Internet services.

Brooke Schulz, Vonage's vice president for corporate communications,
confirmed that the company is "investigating a new instance" of
service interruption that appears to be another case of port
blocking. Schulz said the incident involves Vonage customers who use
high-speed Internet services provided by a cable operator, somewhere
in the Midwest U.S.

Over the past two weeks, industry sources who declined to be named
said they had heard rumors that some Vonage customers in the Midwest
were having their services blocked. On Wednesday, Schulz confirmed
that Vonage is "investigating an instance [of service outages] on a
cable operator's system in the Midwest."
