Their deal to use another VOIP provider will cost them a lot of money. Their customers are going to be paying more for service no matter what happens in the future hearings. I'd say Verizon has already won, no matter what happens from now on.

I don't think they have won at all..All they have succeeded in doing is insuring if Vonage were to go away, those current Vonage customers will never go back to Verizon, just as a mater of principle........I see it as a lose lose for Verizon......
Also, I have it on pretty good authority, that Vonage will be making an announcement on Friday...
Rest assured Vonage customers...we are going to be fine.
On top of that, even if the Vonage bill were to go up $5.00 a month..Its still WAY cheaper than Verizon... |

Yeah, this company, Vonage, never posts a profit...(however the execs on their board seem to be doing fine)... and Vonage has little in regards to assets not even having their own network that they operate on. How can you keep paying for legal fees, a huge advertising budget, and regular business expenses and NEVER make a profit but STILL keep your doors open???
Only in America. I love it. |

The 5.5% was for future royalty payments if Vonage continued use. The deal with VoIP Inc would negate 2/3 of the reason for that 5.5% of royalty in the event appeals did not reverse the original jury verdict.
