SunRocket fails to takeoff - gets grounded on Earth

SunRocket, one of the leading VoIP firms, which provided internet phone service ceased its operations. As per The New York Times article, the firm had 200,000 subscribers.

I must say that we had seriously considered switching to SunRocket's service. They were offering phone service for $199 for the entire year, inclusive of all taxes. The price seemed very reasonable to us and from what I had heard from my friend, the service was good too. And the fact that it included all taxes was a big plus. Right now, our phone bills are padded with so many taxes, and service/miscellaneous charges and about which we as consumers can't do much.

However, we eventually decided not to switch because we find the landline service to be more reliable. We don't have to worry about not having phone service if our internet cable service doesn't work or if there's no electricity because of bad weather.
