Vonage halted on Toronto?

Source: saunderslog.com

It’s been a rough couple of days for Vonage.  Yesterday a jury found that the company had, in fact, violated Sprint’s patents, driving the stock to a new low of just $1.30.  Today, it only got worse.  A jury reaffirmed the verdict in this year’s earlier case, stating that Vonage had also infringed Verizon’s patents.  And the stock nose dived again, dropping to $.89. 

How could it get any worse?

The final indignity may be this.  This screen shot from the TD Waterhouse website shows Vonage as halted.
