[asterisk-biz] Verizon v Vonage

[Brian Fertig]

I read up on Verizon's claims against Vonage and found their patents are 
in
no way shape or form precise enough to hold any weight.  They are so broad
that
Asterisk could never work around the patens of Verizon but just remove 
them
instead.

|	Verizon is suing Vonage for violating 48 patent claims, to shut
|Vonage
|down:
|http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/money/20070220/vonage.art.htm . If
|Verizon is granted a monopoly on operating under those patents, what
|other VoIP services will have to shut down? Is Asterisk either immune,
|or able to change quickly enough to operate outside these patents?
