So this is what Vonage meant when it said a Thursday conference call would reveal how the company planned to work around Verizon’s patents?

This followed a ruling last month by a Virginia jury that ordered Vonage to pay Verizon $58 million, plus royalties on future sales, for violating three of its patents.
