Comments on: Court rejects Vonage bid for patent case retrial

Net phone company can cite a recent landmark Supreme Court decision as part of pending appeal, but doesn't get a new trial.

I hate Verizon even more now

I dumped my expensive Verizon wireline service to switch to VOIP using Vonage. If Verizon has some misguided idea the suing Vonage will bring their customers back they have another thing coming.

Even if Vonage did violate some patents, I think it would be hard to show that those violations have cost Verizon money. I mean, there are other VOIP providers out there and Vonage has not gone after them yet.

Go ahead Verizon, Drive Vonage out of busines, I'll just switch to an even less expensive VOIP provider like SunRocket or something. You can be sure that I'll never do business with you and put up with your lousy service and Indian Call Centers

correction

I meant to say the Verizon has not gone after other VOIP providers yet.

Way bigger then Microsoft vs Netscape

This is just huge but I really hope it gets solved quickly. Vonage isn't going anywhere and should be allowed to conduct their business, If they should pay a minor fee then everyone including Comcast should pay those minor fees.

Let's move forward. I hope that can be done this summer or quicker. This is too out of control. It's hurting allot of stocks severely and frankly hurting allot of other stocks a great deal including Microsoft.

Stick it to Verizon!

They can hire a whole pack of people to follow me around....and
who actually WANTS that....and it will never lure me back to
Verizon. Anything that gets customers away from Verizon is
GREAT in my eyes! I'm dealing with all kinds of illegal billing
issues, false charges and endless LIES, LIES, LIES!!!! I say if
Vonage can produce a product for less money and not rob the
public, all the power to them!
