Vonage CEO Mike Snyder is telling people that things aren't as bad as all that, even though a judge has given his company what is now 10 days to stop infringing on Verizon's patents on VoIP. He told the Associated Press that his company has plenty of money and inclination to appeal the jury's verdict. One has to wonder if that's only the first stop; experts are now saying that are hundreds of other VoIP patent-holders waiting in the wings for just the right opportunity (or the right lawyer) to drop a lawsuit.
