Vonage Wins Permanent Stay in Verizon Case

Posted by kdawson on from the huge-sigh dept.

kamikaze-Tech writes "The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington DC today issued Vonage a permanent stay of a previous court's injunction that would have barred it from signing up new customers. Vonage sought the stay following an April 6th decision by the US District Court in Alexandria, VA enjoining the company from using certain VoIP technology to add new customers."

    Now they just need a new way to get calls from the net to a phone line. I wonder if anyone has patented taping a phone to a speaker.

      I wonder if anyone has patented taping a phone to a speaker.

      Just because it seems obvious to you, doesn't mean it didn't take someone else millions of dollars in reasearch to develop this INVENTION. It could have taken many billed hours to perfect the tape required to adhere the phone to the said speaker. What will happen if those who carefully do this research aren't compensated for their efforts? We will all be cast back into the stone age with our children. Please think of the children!
