The patents?

Does anyone have a good link to a more technical description of the patents involved? So far all I've seen is "interconnection to the PSTN" and "voicemail" which both sound kind of... vague? Lots of folks offer voicemail and products that bridge internet calls to the PSTN.

Great link and analysis. I'm surprised that Vonage didn't bring up prior art, Dialpad.com was made before Verizon was granted its patents:

Yep, I used dialpad in 1999 to be exact, could call regular telephone numbers, no charges, and I was on dialup then too. It wasn't the best due to dialup but it worked.

It's up to Yahoo to jump in the fray. Doubtful
