Do some research next time before you comment off the cuff.]]>Mar 23rd 2007 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/23/verizon-wins-permanent-injunction-against-vonage/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/23/verizon-wins-permanent-injunction-against-vonage/

And no thanks, I'll let you do my 'research' for me.]]>Mar 23rd 2007 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/23/verizon-wins-permanent-injunction-against-vonage/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/23/verizon-wins-permanent-injunction-against-vonage/Mar 23rd 2007 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/23/verizon-wins-permanent-injunction-against-vonage/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/23/verizon-wins-permanent-injunction-against-vonage/
If Vonage has a decent legal time, they should be quick to point out that such an interconnect is not worthy of a patent, as it's (a) an obvious, possibly a trivial idea, and (b) it's already in such widespread use that reveals Verizon never had intent to pursue -- they just started now for business reasons. Ya snooze ya lose, even if the patent was trite.]]>Mar 23rd 2007 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/23/verizon-wins-permanent-injunction-against-vonage/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/23/verizon-wins-permanent-injunction-against-vonage/
Why else do you think Microsoft has shifted to patents?]]>Mar 23rd 2007 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/23/verizon-wins-permanent-injunction-against-vonage/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/23/verizon-wins-permanent-injunction-against-vonage/
Really nice to see big government lay the smack down to a first mover into a new market.

Patent infringement or not. The suit is designed to cripple Vonage. Perhaps they will throw them a bone and buy them out once the appeals sap their cash reserves.

I'm waiting to see how long before the FCC steps really screws this up. They ruled weeks ago that VoIP provider are to regulated as other telecom providers.

This could really open up a can of worms for Verizon. They are already obligated to provide competitors access to hardlines at a discount. Perhaps they(FCC) will rule in the same manner on using other technologies.

Are cable companies with digital phone services next on the list?

This is not possible in our current legal world. Patent issues are civil matter where there is no such thing as a conviction.]]>Mar 23rd 2007 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/23/verizon-wins-permanent-injunction-against-vonage/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/23/verizon-wins-permanent-injunction-against-vonage/
Besides Verizon's cell phone service is horrible. It's better than some but better than the 7th layer of hell is still the 6th layer of hell. On your plan text messages sent to your phone cost $.10 per message. Yes but I didn't read them or open them. Yes but they were sent to your number. Uh, they were spam messages sent from unknown sources. Well then you need to block the sender. Uh, they keep coming from different sources. Well then you can disable text messaging or you can upgrade to our unlimited text messaging service for $15 per month. How about I find where you and the Verizon executives live and run you over 100 times with your brand new Maseratis.]]>Mar 23rd 2007 11:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/23/verizon-wins-permanent-injunction-against-vonage/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/23/verizon-wins-permanent-injunction-against-vonage/
