Vonage – another nail in the coffin?

Federal Court barres Vonage from using technology that infringes on Verizon’s patents. Vonage will learn in two weeks if this becomes permanent, but they state that this will not hurt their customers. Does anyone know exactly what patents we’re talking about here? I’ve read that it was the technology to allow VoIP calls to talk to people with regular land line service. If that is true how can this not hurt the customers?

As a customer, I’m still pulling for you Vonage, but I’ve got other phone providers on speed dial at this point.
