The New Telecom Wars Begin.
Coming off a disaterious IPO, Vonage must now defend itself in a Patent suit from Verizon.
This seems to jive with what Bobby X, has talked about in is latest column, where he feels that the whole Net neutrality debate, at least from the Telecoms POV is all about VOIP. I would tend to agree, that for the moment, the Telecoms, appose Net Neutrality because they they want to protect their businesses from these VOIP upstarts, and the success of VOIP really depends on the amount and quality of consistent bandwidth. I also believe that if not stopped hear the Telecoms won’t stop. The next logical service to hijack would be VOD.
PS:
That Bobby X link also has his thoughts on Bill Gates stepping down from duties at Microsoft. A good read for anyone who wishes to understand the inner working of Microsoft.
