     BOULDER, Colo. -- Leading Voice over IP service provider Vonage
     Holdings has complained to the Federal Communications Commission
     that competitors are blocking the use of its service, according to
     FCC chairman Michael Powell and others close to the company.

     "We're very actively on this case and we are taking it pretty
     seriously," said Powell, during an interview Monday here at the
     Silicon Flatirons conference. In a speech at the conference Sunday,
     Stanford law professor Larry Lessing said that Vonage has been

     VoIP service by "blocking" it from reaching certain SIP addresses
     for end-user devices.
