"Vonage, the VoIP company that has faced patent battles with both Verizon  and Sprint  causing the company's stock to drop well below $1 per share, has reached a patent agreement with Sprint.  \nThe agreement details that the VoIP company can use technology that's been patented, and currently held by Sprint.  Vonage will pay Sprint a total of $80 million, including $35 million for past use of the license, $40 million for a fully paid future license, and $5 million in prepayment for the services.  \nNow that it's gotten a deal with Sprint, perhaps the company can focus on making money again, and worry less about legal woes.  We'll see if Vonage can bounce back after a year of intense and debilitating court battles.\n[via  CNet]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
