Connecticut is the latest state to sue Vonage for misrepresenting the
way in which the service handles "911" calls.

Seems to me that Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal
instructed his staff to obtain a copy of the Texas suit -- and after
doing so, did some CPR (cut, paste, rewrite). Then, they drafted the
current suit.

The Connecticut suit has less than no merit. No specific Vonage
customer in Connecticut seems to have suffered the trying consequences
of Vonage 911-connect failure like that customer in Houston may have.

And what about the fact that Connecticut filed the suit just about on
the eve of today's announcement that Vonage will work with Verizon
(the main local telco in Connecticut) to enable E911 solutions? Maybe
Blumenthal and his folks didn't bother to check. Or, maybe he and
his staffers were concerned that 911 solution progress is slower
between Vonage and SBC (which covers part of Connecticut) than it is
between Vonage and Verizon.
