kill the competition

Verizon attacks the one name-brand company that is competing for voip customers, to try to shut them down. All these internet technical patents are broadly written mumbo-jumbo. (look at the fight over "jpg" patents, too.) Vonage had licensed and bought patents that cover their operation, so they aren't trying to get something for nothing. But because they are a fierce competitor with a MUCH better price and public awareness, Verizon is trying to smack them down by saying Vonage's patents aren't enough -- that Verizon's patents also cover some of the same voip stuff. Somehow they convinced a clueless jury -- and now the judge has to go by what the jury decided.

But you notice Verizon is NOT suing Packet 8 and the countless other small time voip companies who use the exact same technology? They are only suing Vonage, hoping to crush them. Then, they can sell their over-priced voip to their broadband customers as a "bundle" deal.
