A major player in the burgeoning broadband Internet telephone business, Vonage Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Citron, spoke and answered questions from a panel of financial and policy analysts on Friday, February 6, at a lunch sponsored by The Progress & Freedom Foundation. Citron commented on the promise of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology and what Internet voice means for consumers and the communications marketplace. The analysts were Blair Levin of Legg Mason, Scott Cleland of the Precursor Group and Blake Bath of Lehman Brothers.

Founded in January 2001 and based in Edison, NJ, Vonage uses existing high-speed Internet connections to enable customers to make and receive phone calls with a touch-tone phone.
