Court rejects Vonage request for retrial

The supreme court has rejected Vonages' request for retrial and has asked them to work a on the existing appeal with verison. Vonage is a new phone company using Internet for cheaper phone services and is targeting large and medium-size businesses with its new V-Phone, a USB flash drive loaded with VoIP calling software. These phones cost half the cost of the larger companies such as Cingular and Verison but many people are tranfering their numbers or getting new lines at vonage. Although Vonage charges less for its services which comes with unlimited Internet and texting but there are still questions about its receptions in different states of the country. Vonage is currently facing a law suit by Verison but today the court has ruled Vonage may continue to sign up new customers while appealing a patent infringement loss to Verizon, a federal appeals court ruled the April 24th.

Yah, this sure was an interesting case, huh? The original court order that prevented Vonage from signing up new customers was definitely a show stopper for their business! The funny thing is that their commercials were still running on TV and I was still receiving unsolicited marketing information from them in the mail even after they had been ordered to cease and desist! What's up with that? Hopefully for their sake everything will work out, otherwise it might be time for them to "HANG UP"!
