Sprint Teams With Top Four Cable Companies

Ummm, you think big corporations file lawsuits because of principles and not purely because of $$$??? 🙄

Who do you think is providing the VoIP backbone to most of the cable cos.? It's Sprint. I don't know the basis of Sprint's lawsuit v. Vonage. But, Sprint has long history in the packet voice arena. They developed a short-lived, mis-marketed product in the late '90s called ION, which delivered voice & data converged over a packet core and access network. In their ILEC territory, they've had a C2P (circuit to packet) initiative in place for several years, where they changing the tradition, TDM, circuit switched class 5 end offices to packet switches. And over the last couple of years they've been enabling many of cable cos. to deliver packet voice. So, I don't necessarily think it hypocrisy.

Depending on the basis and claims in the laws...

yea, sprint sued vonage becuase they think they violated a patent or few. the thing is vonage might either file for an IPO or want a $2 billion buy out.. you know who the rumored suitor is? sprint.
