Net2Phone Files Law Suit against Ebay
Looks like a good thing can never last. Everyone’s favorite VoIP company Skype which is owned by Ebay has just been sued by Net2Phone alleging that Skype has infringed its patent for the placing of calls over the net.
The law suit, filed in the US District court of Newark, alleges that Skype infringed a patent filed by Net2Phone under US Patent Class 704, which broadly covers data processing encompassing speech signal processing, linguistics, language translation, and audio compression/decompression. Like any other law suits filed recently the Net2Phone suit is going for broke, seeking damages and an injunction against further infringement, which would basically mean shutting the Skype service down.

I am a customer of net2phone, and it bothers me that they decide when there service should and shouldnt work. it is very unstable. Right now my sister called me from the USA on an emergency call and i cant call her cause net2phone decided for whatever reason that they will not work today. How is this a stable company? if in an emergency situation theyre not available? I hope they will get shut down if they cant keep theyre contracts worldwide, and satisfy there cutsomer needs.
I am very upset because my sister needs me right now, and i cant provide her with any support due to the fact that net2phone, regardless of the contract signed cant keep there end of the bargain. I leave this as evidece…. because it is evidence of how theyre trying to take advatage of there customers…
