I didn't find anything that listed the patents in question.  Most were only 
business articles, but one article did "summarized" the patent topics.

http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/business/20060619-1055-vonage-verizonsuit.html

"Verizon charged that Vonage is infringing on at least seven of its patents 
regarding Internet phone service, a technology known as voice over Internet 
protocol, or VoIP. The patents include inventions related to gateway interfaces 
between a packet-switched and circuit-switched network, billing and fraud 
detection, call services such as call forwarding and voicemail and methods 
related to Wi-Fi handset use in a VoIP network, the lawsuit said."

BTW - cursory search at http://www.uspto.gov/ lists Verizon as receiving "57" 
issued patents in total since 2001.  It's not a huge number if you were 
inclined to search to see what they got granted that matched the topics listed 
in the article above.  All issued patents are public record and can be 
downloaded from uspto.  The trick is narrowing down the list (or finding the 
issued numbers for the patents in question).  Does anyone know where to find 
the court actions?  That would surely list the patent numbers at issue.
