Jimmy, I'm really not sure what your point is. Verizon sucks for a lot more reasons than just this predatory action against Vonage. And Verizon apparently does care that someone is using their wires to deliver phone service. Your car-stealing neighbor analogy makes no sense.

Vonage may have its flaws, but it pioneered VOIP and has brought the cost of land line service down to a reasonable level.
I think cable co need to join together to form one ultra-phone company, and data.

I just look at it this way; if your neighbor was coming into your property and using your car without your permission would you not do something about this?.

Sounds exactly how the telco's put mom and pop ISP's who introduced most people to the real internet, out of business. They did this by offering us the ability to provide DSL services, but after their fees we could not match their prices and make a profit that could keep us open.
