just a thought..

these companies have to be buying the equipment somewhere, I mean they don't just build their own, so why isn't verizon just suing the maker(s) of the infringing equipment?

If I buy a commercially made product and some joe-blow says I'm infringing, I'd lol at him and tell him to go stuff it. I bought and paid for this equip in good faith, and I'm not responsible for what the manufacturers do nor will I be.

I thing Verizon is targeting the wrong companies, but then again it makes sense to try to get the provider (equipment's end-user?) since they're more likely to get a good settlement from a deep-pockets cable/tel co.

I guess you need a patent thees days to use a certain piece. Not just to make it.
Oh and by the way, they don't want to sue their own manufacturer; it would leave them in short supply of equipment.
