Does 3Com Have what Vonage Needs?
In more than one of the discussions we’ve had with folks about the Vonage-Verizon patent fight, there has been out-loud wonderment that some prior art hasn’t yet surfaced to invalidate Verizon’s claims. From VoIP Watch blogger Andy Abramson (and his radio cohort Ken Rutkowski) comes a report from “someone” who claims that a 3Com may be the owner of a patent could help Vonage contest Verizon’s claims. Good reading, and there will be more to follow we are sure!

Pretty interesting. So maybe 3Com would figure they have $58 million coming to them?
Don’t see how this really helps Vonage unless 3Com would step in and tell Vonage “don’t worry about it, keep the $58 mil.”
Vonage testified that Net2phone had what they needed. Vonage should just go to Net2phone if they can find them.
