Broadband Reports says Vonage has struck deals with both Linksys and Netgear to create routers that integrate telephone adapters specifically designed to work with only with Vonage VoIP service, then pitching those products in retail chain stores.
Upstart VoIP provider SIPphone isn’t happy about this, and has sued both electronics retailer Fry s and Vonage over the deals. SIPphone complains that the deals don’t make it obvious to consumers that the router is “locked” to only work with Vonage VoIP service.
