Re: Oh Crap!!!
I have one thing to add... if Verizon's purchased technology from the corrupt and bankrupt MCI/Worldcom/MCI owner is so dang great, then why aren't they using it themselves?
It's amazing that Verizon's awesome patented technology worth 58 million that Vonage stole is causing Verizon harm by lost customers... I have to laugh.. they are loosing customers not because of the technology.. they are loosing customers because Vonage is selling a service at a more appealing rate.
Change the technology Vonage uses (c'mon Vonage.. change one part of it.. just one and avoid the patent) and continue to sell the service at the same price. Vonage will still bleed.

Exactly TCH. I think what people are misunderstanding here is that Vonage has not yet lost this case by any means in the legal sense of the word AND they are still saying that they have not violated anyone patents with the way things now stand.
And so, their position today is they aren't changing a thing unless they absolutely have or are forced to.
Obviously, changing things around of this order of magnitude will carry with it risks for service disruptions.
And, there's always the potential for whatever they switch over to just not working as it should, or as good as what they have today.
But, if that's what it takes, then I suspect they do have workarounds in mind.
I hope they prevail and do well. Speaking as a customer, I think their service is great in every regard.
It's a real money saver over pots/ld of old and that's obviously what's winning them over so many customers.
Not Verizons tired old pots technology.

said by JohnA  :If they had a work around, you'd see it by now. Not necessarily. The workaround may mean paying money to license another companies(instead of Verizon's) patents. Or it may mean a more costly way to route calls to the off the internet termination points. They wouldn't implement the workaround, if it is more costly, unless they had no other choice.
