Sprint and Vonage in licensing agreement: I predicted this six months ago

Back on April 18, nearly six months ago, I ran a post quoting the independent Vonage Forum owner Dan Connor's thread in which he forecast that Vonage would settle its patent disputes with Sprint by means of a licensing agreement.

I agreed with him then. And now, guess what.

Turned out today's news renders Connor's prognostication right.

Breaking news: Vonage and Sprint have settled their patent infringement suit.

The settlement involves licensing related considerations totalling $80 million, including $35 million for "past use," $40 million for a paidin-full future license and $5 million in prepayment for services.

Some correctly term this a change in strategy for Vonage, maybe a retreat from their reality distortion field that they will win all their legal battles.

But $1 a share kind of does that to you.

I predict this may just be a first step in a nascent Sprint-Vonage relationship. Could that "small stake" be next?
