The Verizon / Vonage Story
It seems the Supreme Court has issued a new ruling that may help Vonage and dim Verizon’s hope of squashing VoIP as I discussed in a previous issue. But nevertheless, the lower courts are not going to allow Vonage to have the original case retried based on this ruling. In my opinion the lower court is not listening to their leadership. One might suspect other influences, but I would hope justice reminds blind.
The Imus Firing
Don Imus has not and will not be able to fully vindicate himself. However, he has shown that CBS Radio asked for controversy in his contract. A copy of the contract was released and Imus has retained an attorney to sue CBS Radio for a portion of his contract. One wonders how CBS Radio will dig themselves out of this hole. Will those protesters return now that we have a new view of the CBS Radio / Don Imus relationship? Maybe CBS Radio needs to review their priorities in gathering money and their attorneys need to rethink the possible implications of contracts leading to style of show content. Maybe we Americans need to rethink our strategy on what we allow on OUR airwaves. I maintain my opinion that we need to put elbow grease into our scrubbing of media content.
