Depending upon the patents in question, a few companies (Cisco comes to
mind) may have prior art here. I know that a company cisco bought was
doing VoIP in 1998, but no indications of which patents this is, or when
they were filed.

Sprint Nextel is sueing vonage, voiceglo and theglobe.com for infringing
on VoIP patents. Sprint Nextel claims to have about 100 patents on VoIP
technologies. Does anyone know which ones this article is talking
about, and if so does asterisk have any of those features?
The reason I am asking is that the article is vague, Vonage uses a
fairly standard codec set, I dont know about the others. So if its not
codecs I wonder if its something so generic that the patent would be
tossed out upon challenge.
Anyone thinking about doing a VoIP business may want to get more info
before proceeding since they may not have the millinos vonage has to
fight this.
