Jacques Shellac from Canada writes: Software patents are almost always anti-competitive nonsense, especially when the US patent office is involved. This better be overturned on appeal, because it will probably spell the death knell for cheap voip calls, and that's what this is all about.

Sreehari G from United States writes: This whole Vonage being hit issue seems irrational. Their technology is superb, I have been using them myself for the last 2 years now. It was the best solution found out for small business customers more than home users.
I wonder how many of these analysts actually know that no matter where you got your account from, you can take your equipment with you anywhere in the world where you have access to high speed internet, just Plug in your Vonage equipment and start talking as if you're on a local call, now how cool is that.
Vonage was the ons top answer to to beat the Monopoly established by Telecom giants like Sprint and Verizon, who charge us through the nose for their service, and god forbid if you have to go out of country, you will either be stuck without a service from either of these giants or you'll have to find a part time job to pay your International Roaming bill.
With the technology that Vonage brought about, its users could truly believe in the concept of Global Village under one network.
Its TRULY a shame that everybody is trying to beat Vonage down, probably because the competitors are afraid of their incompetencies and irrationally expensive services.- Posted 28/09/07 at 12:36 PM EDT | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment
