"The jury found that three of five disputed patents were infringed and all are valid, while rejecting Verizon's claim that the infringement was willful. The patents cover a method of translating calls between the Internet and standard phones, call-waiting features and wireless handsets."
Is it just me, or does this whole Verizon vs. Vonage seem strikingly similar to SCO vs. Linux? Where's the supporting documentation? Where's the patents? I think it's all hush hush because Verizon believes they can scare people back to them and tarnish Vonage's name, thus eliminating the biggest competitor they've had in a long time. I'm not doubting that patents exist, I'm just betting that you'd have to have some seriously drunken vision to interpret them as the exact business processes Vonage uses. I think if Verizon thought for a second they had solid ground to stand on, they would disclose which patents they're referencing so the public could decide. I dumped Verizon for Vonage years ago before they have millions of subscribers. I had more trouble with Verizon than I ever have with Vonage. All the call quality problems I ever had where easily resolved with some simple QoS configs on my router. If Vonage goes away, I just won't have home phone service. I'll never go back to Verizon. I guess we're all screwed when we find out Vonage runs on Asterisk and Digium cards! -Kenneth _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
