1 edit | Sunrocket? Packet8? Other VoIP? I read the article, but there wasn't really enough information in there to describe why other VoIP's aren't being brought into the mix...What is Verizon specifically saying that Vonage did that other VoIP's have not? I'm a little confused there as to both issues (what specifically is it, & why it's only Vonage.) |

| Excellent question. I have Speakeasy VOIP. Does that mean Verizon will target them (or Covad) next? If their claims are true, and the patents are essential to VOIP, then isn't every non-Verizon VOIP provider (including Comcast, Qwest, EarthLink, Charter) at risk? |

But you sue the big guy 1st and if you win, the others will all settle without Verizon having to go to court to get a piece of their pies.

So, when and if Verizon is successful going after the independent VoIP's (Packet 8, Sunrocket, Vonage, etc.) and the Cable operated VoIP products, we'll have Verizon as the sole provider/owner of VoIP "techology."
Sounds a lot like the XM/Sirius merger thread from earlier today with the varying opinions.
