Vonage: Verizon ruling partially upheld

Poor, poor Vonage. Just a day after getting a $69.5 million slap in the face from Sprint, a U.S. Court of Appeals has seen fit to "partially affirm" the earlier Verizon verdict. In case you've forgotten, that verdict saw Vonage paying $58 million in addition to royalties future revenue. Looks like Vonage is going to play the stay game on this one as well: the "injunction has been stayed pending resolution of Vonage's appeal." Still, the ruling will go into effect in a month, unless Vonage is able to procure an emergency stay from the Supreme Court. Vonage users had better hope that the company has a huge war chest--otherwise, it looks like you might have to start shopping around for a new VoIP provider.
