There seems to be some serious question as to whether Verizon's "patent" claims are even legitimate:

»Verizon VoIP Patents Legitimate?

As mentioned previously, this (Verizon/Sprint) is nothing more than the telcos trying to squash competition that they don't want to compete with because it would mean slashing their gazillion dollar profit margin to give customers a good service at a great price. I should pay $60 a month after taxes and hidden fees for a barebones, no LD phone line instead of $32.99 for unlimited calling anywhere, including Europe, with rock solid Vonage? I don't think so.

It's pretty sad that suing is Verizon/Sprint's answer to competition instead of coming up with an equitable solution and a delivering a competitive service for the same price.
