Yes, I do recall something about that prior art that vplm brought up & I remember being somewhat puzzled by the fact that so much time, money & expertise is supposed to be utilized before & during the prosecution period, ie, from the applicants attorneys & then from the USPTO ppl & it's amazing how much work must've been done in that regard & yet there is simply so much potential prior art that it's like an endless well...x's 7+ patents & it's wonder that anyone winds up having to pay big bucks for a patent or a licence or a court order AND THEN to not be overturned. Bottom line = why didn't vplm, with so little resources, drop all their teleco plans & infrastructure....which along WITH THE PATENT PENDING TECHNOLOGY, and at the prime time of development opportunity for fledgling voip teleco's, decide to DITCH ALL OF THAT and instead take on this HUGELY difficult & foreboding & cutthroat pathway???
