Vonage - yay, verizon - boo

between the lawyers and mbas, the little guy (consumer) doesn't stand a chance.

i already hate verizon and am going to switch to another cell provider when my contract is up this year, but the poisionous tactics they've used on Vonage, our home phone (internet) provider, is disgusting.

did Vonage abuse patent rules? i can't tell since the story doesn't address the details of that. my understanding, however, is that Vonage has been paying at least some patent dues like it should.

Vonage has done an excellent job of providing great service at very little cost, and its 2+ million customers obviously agree. but gutting a superior company seems to be business as usual here in this country. remember ma bell? i know there are others but i'm so appalled right now i can't think of any. just hell.

story here.
