Vonage Says There Is No Workaround To Verizon’s VoIP Patents

Seeing the stay denied would be a dream scenario for Verizon, since the patents in question are so broad that it’s conceivable it could be impossible to run a landline-replacement VoIP service in the US without infringing upon them — meaning it could shut down the entire US VoIP industry and the stiff competition it provides the company’s traditional phone services.

Things have just gotten a lot worse for Vonage and all other VoIP services out there. If VoIP is killed off, I wonder if it will hurt Verizons own business due to disgruntled customers leaving?
