1 edit | Re: Guilty as charged! said by batterup  :Vonage admits guilt by paying Sprint. Turn out the lights the party is over. I'm not sure if it's a total dmission of guilt, or so much that the cheaper alternative - in lieu of paying even more lawyer fees for months and months - would be to settle with Sprint, and at the same time, pay $ for the right to use Sprint's patents going forward. To me, that's a sound business decision. At the same time, I will not try to understand patent law or VoIP technology at the patent-level, so I won't comment on the amount of Vonage's wrong-doing.
I've loved Vonage from about day 5 with their service, and I have no plans to drop them unless the dial-tone stops. Even if that occurs, I don't believe Vonage will go the route of Sunrocket.

| Re: Guilty as charged! I noticed Sprint got the bulk of their money up front. A smart move for them. Vonage can't keep their fight going forever, especially with the weak position of their stock.
I don't believe Vonage will go the route of Sunrocket either, but I do see them being gobbled up by another company.

| Re: Guilty as charged! Sprint, or Verizon.
Since the suit against Verizon is still open. If Vonage ultimately loses in Court, Verizon could request a controlling interest in the stock as payment.
Then, "It's over Johnny"

| So, using your logic, if RIM paid off NTP they admitted guilt in willfully infringing on NTP's amazing innovation of wirelessly transmitting email huh??
And ahh yes, you even have the obligatory "party is over, vonage is dead,....etc" post. I have seen these posts on this forum each time a story about Vonage pops up. You may have done better by just simply posting "I'm First!!! Woo Hoo!!" | |

Lake Zurich, IL | It's a patent dispute -- the question is what patents Verizon holds vs. what patents Sprint holds...
I wish we had a requirement for a very basic law class in American school curriculums. | |

| Re: Guilty as charged! said by JoeG4 :Vonage stole millions in profit from Verizon and Sprint, they deserve to go out of business! I think DSLreports is full of sympathetic line men who have Verizon and Sprint on their paychecks  DSLreports is full of people that live in their mother's basement and want a free lunch. | |
