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.

| 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.

| 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"
