If Vonage plays the prior art card, Vonage would ask for use without further 'infringement' of the patent, and not have to pursue this suit any further. This allows Sprint, Verizon, and Klausner to attack the next Voip provider that pops up, although any prior art Vonage found was never publicly disclosed.

It sounds like a win-win for Vonage + their accuser, and a loss for the industry in general.
