Internet phone company Vonage will be barred from signing up new customers for infringing on patents held by Verizon under an injunction ordered Friday. The order is less severe than the punishment initially proposed -- a blanket injunction that might have disrupted service for all 2.2 million of Vonage's existing customers. But Vonage's lawyers said the compromise is almost as devastating. "It's the difference of cutting off oxygen as opposed to the bullet in the head," Vonage lawyer Roger Warin said.

Internet phone company Vonage Holdings Corp. will be barred from signing up new customers as punishment for infringing on patents held by Verizon Communications Inc., under an injunction ordered Friday.
The injunction was to take effect Thursday, but the company was granted a temporary stay from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., which will allow Vonage to sign up new customers until the court rules on its appeal.
