Look at the following link:
»www.linksys.com/voice/default.asp

Tell me where it boldly shows these products work with SIPphone...or that they only work exclusively with Vonage.



Why does it have to work with all services? Why?

It's a product made and people have the choice to buy a different one if they want.

Flat out wrong as a general statement. Antitrust law covers a "conspiracy in restraint of trade", which includes two firms acting in concert as well as anticompetitive acts by a single firm.

(However, indications are that this SIPphone/Linksys/Vonage lawsuit seems to be based more on deceptive advertising claims than traditional antitrust/monopoly--so both Corvus's statement and my response to it may not relate directly to the case at hand.)

Well, it's not clear that Vonage is the only one, but it clearly shows it doesn't work with all VoIP provider.

If you look at the judgements waged against microsoft for being anti-competitive and for monopoly practices, I think they might have a small wood leg to stand on.
