Vonage wins stay against Verizon
Internet phone company Vonage said a federal
appeals court permanently stayed a lower court order that barred it from signing
up new customers.
Internet phone company Vonage said on Tuesday a federal appeals court permanently stayed a lower court order that barred it from signing up new customers.
The latest ruling came about two hours after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. heard arguments from lawyers representing Vonage and Verizon.
Each side answered questions for about 45 minutes. However, the judges gave no indication at the hearing which way they would rule. A court clerk later confirmed that the stay had been granted by the court.
“In layman’s terms, it means business as usual,” said Brooke Schulz, a spokeswoman for Vonage.
I’m not especially a Vonage fan; but, it’s nice to see someone do something more than roll over and play dead for the frackin’ Telcos.
