Sprint was Hulk Hogan, Verizon was Andre The Giant and now The Undertaker coming in from AT&T.

I do have to admit, Vonage has hung in longer than I thought they would as I never thought much of their business plan, but looking at the recent suits, you just have to say “damm”

The patent system is broken. And something is wrong when the little guy in our country can be sued literally to death. What motives could they have to sue Vonage? Do they feel threatened, if not now, then eventually? Or is it just 100% bully tactics? I really wish there was a safety mechanism in our country, when it is clear that the big guys are just suing the little guys to put them out of business.</p> If Vonage is so miniscule in what they are doing compared to the big telco’s, why are they being sued out of existence?!?!?!?

There have been a bunch of posts around the net wondering why Vonage didn’t keep going in the fight against Sprint. The settlement they signed was way worse than what the courts handed down. The only reason I can see is that Sprint had a piece of technology that Vonage thought they really needed.

Anybody have any thoughts on this?
