Vonage And what if I were visiting a home that didn't have a home phone at all, only a cell...
And what if I were visiting a home that didn't have a home phone at all, only a cell... and for whatever reason the reception wasn't good enough to get an emergency call through, would I sue the person I was visiting? Would I sue the cell phone carrier? Of course not. But then I'm not one to sue McDonald's for hot coffee lol.
First of all, don't insult me. I'm sure you read every court's decision as it comes hot off the presses. I actually knew the details, but why would I mention them? They had nothing to do with making my point.
Secondly, my opinion still is that it was a ridiculous lawsuit. The lady was about 80 if I remember, and she was trying to put sugar in her coffee while she held the cup over her lap with the lid off, and she spilled it...whose fault is that? When they print "WARNING: CONTENTS ARE EXTREMELY HOT" on the cup, that ought to tell you something, and after 80 years of living, you'd think she'd have picked up on that before. And while I prefer my coffee a little cooler than most, I know people who scramble for a fresh pot or drive farther out of the way to get a cup somewhere that they believe will be hotter than average.
Same with Vonage. I know Vonage doesn't have true e911 yet, I accept the risks and if I need 911 one day and can't get through, I'll blame myself, not Vonage. But accepting that risk doesn't mean I can't lobby for a better system to be created in the meantime.
