Vonage, a broadband phone service provider, with significant ties
with Texas Instruments, announced the close of a $200 million financing round. The round, which was led by Bain Capital and
joined by New Enterprise Associates, 3i, Meritech Capital Partners and Institutional Venture Partners, brings the total funding
of Vonage to $408 million, a startling number and a number that indicates the importance venture capitalists place on the
VoIP market.
Emphasizing the historical turning point in the telecommunications
industry was Jeffrey A. Citron, Chairman and CEO of Vonage Holdings Corporation, "Vonage is leading the telecommunications
revolution, as its full-featured, cost-effective calling plans are prompting hundreds of thousands of people to drop their
traditional Bell telephone service. This latest round of funding will help Vonage further cement its position as the leading
broadband telephony provider in North America, with further expansion and penetration into global markets."
Michael Krupka, Managing Director of Bain Capital Ventures comments
indicated that he agreed VoIP would soon become the mainstream telephone technology of the new century, "Voice over Internet
Protocol has reached a tipping point, as mainstream consumers begin to adopt broadband telephony as a replacement for their
traditional telephone service. "Vonage has led the movement towards mass adoption of VoIP with its exponential growth and
we look forward to helping Vonage extend its overwhelming lead as the number one player in the industry."
Besides expanding its telecommunications service, Vonage stated
that it would also use the financing for the "development of new innovative offerings." Back in March of this year, it was
reported that Texas Instruments was selected as Vonage's preferred supplier of Voice over IP (VoIP) silicon and software.
Texas Instruments reported at that time that its cumulative total of VoIP shipments had reached over 100 million ports. Vonage
and Texas Instruments have worked together to develop VoIP products for a number of different applications.
Presently, Vonage reports that it has 600,000 lines in service and
has been adding more than 15,000 lines per week to its network. That is up from the 500,000 lines in service reported in March
of 2005.

Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ:BRCM), with over 100 million Gigabit PHY ports
shipped to date, announced another member to its line of PHY devices, the BCM5382 PHY chip. This chip is intended to complement
Broadcom's BCM1103 IP Phone chip to give the designer a two-chip Gigabit IP phone solution.
Nariman Yousefi, Vice President and General Manager of Broadcom's Networking
Physical Layer/Optical Line of Business, spoke about the speed and real estate advantages of the solution, "Our new BCM5482
dual port GbE transceiver is ideally positioned to accelerate the migration of IP phones to faster speeds removing the IP
phone as a network bottleneck. In addition to bridging the IP phone gap between Gigabit Ethernet networks and PCs, our new
dual port transceiver offers a more cost-effective solution (one chip versus two single port transceivers) and takes up less
real estate in space-constrained IP phone configurations."
The BCM5482 is part of Broadcom's 0.13-micron Gigabit Ethernet-over-copper
physical layer (PHY) device family, which includes over 25 additional quad and single port PHY/transceiver products. The Broadcom
BCM1103 IP phone chip, which Broadcom bills as the world's first GbE VoIP chip, is sampling now. The BCM5482 dual port GbE
transceiver is also sampling. Broadcom gave the price as $8.40 - quantities of 10,000 units.

Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:MSPD) in its announcement of
its latest financial quarterly, reported that revenue from its multiservice access voice-over-IP (VoIP) solutions grew 35
percent sequentially over the previous quarter. The company also reported that this VoIP revenue contributed 33 percent to
its total second quarter revenues. Mindspeed's high-performance analog devices increased 11 percent sequentially to 26 percent
of total quarterly revenues.
Raouf Halim, Mindspeed's CEO discussed the quarter and VoIP shipments,
"We met our revenue expectations for our second fiscal quarter, achieving a modest sequential increase despite a significant
slowdown primarily in shipments of our legacy T1/E1 transmission products. Shipments of VoIP products grew significantly and
represented our largest revenue contributor. In fact, over the past four quarters, VoIP product revenues have grown in excess
of 80 percent compared to the prior four quarters.
Halim also gave projections for 2006, "We remain confident in the
long-term growth of the network infrastructure markets we serve and, in particular, our ability to gain a disproportionate
share in specific high-growth segments. However, as a result of continued poor visibility coupled with an overall weaker near-term
outlook primarily for certain of our legacy communication products, we now anticipate reaching pro forma operating breakeven
performance of $37 million in quarterly revenues in the first half of calendar 2006. This perspective is predicated primarily
upon continued growth of our VoIP and high-performance analog product families."
Mindspeed had $26.6 million in sales for its latest quarter ended
March 31, 2005. This compares to $30.8 million the same quarter last year.
