But what it also doesn't do is give clarity to allowing the suits in the first place. They've opened the door to folks to let the courts decide if there was any 'promotion of infringement' by the hardware or software vendors. My Subaru's tv ad had 0-60 times as 5.4 secs - are they promoting

The customer has to activate since he/she has to state where that phone is going to be used since theoretically it can be used anywhere it's got an internet connection. How is Vonage going to know where you are using that phone? Hence it's up to you to do a bit of work. On Wed, 23 Mar 2005

I'm not arguing that vonage should/shouldn't have 911 calls patched. I'm saying that since their phones/services can be used anywhere the customer should have the onus to set the freakin thing up correctly. If the power's out and your broadband connection is dead who are you going to blame?
