Vonage Sued Twice

If you're Vonage's new CEO, you have to wonder what you got yourself into as Vonage is rapidly becoming like Microsoft, a company embroiled in lawsuit after lawsuit, and while Microsoft's legal woes, much of which is behind them and were largely based on their approach to competition, Vonage as a company is being as liars and thieves.

In Canada, cable operator Shaw Cable is claiming misrepresentation as a way to further differentiate its own VoIP service (which offers QOS) from Vonage's which we all know doesn't really offer any.

But the big blockbuster was the Verizon and Verizon Laboratories suit that Vonage admitted today was filed against them, and which they will defend vigorously dealing with patent infringement.

Tom Keating also has some thoughts on this.
