Sprint considering purchase of Vonage?

Light Reading - VOIP - Could Vonage Sprint to an Exit? - Telecom News Analysis

So while Vonage is getting their heads handed to them by Verizon, they are also preparing to get smacked again with patent infringement suits from Sprint (scheduled for September). But there is TALK of Vonage being willing to sell itself to Sprint. While one might think that would mean Sprint gets the patent probelms with Verizon, the truth is that Sprint has their own technologies that Vonage would adopt and no longer be infringing on Verizon. Punitive damages I'm sure would still exist, but that would all be part of the buy out deal. The only thing more interesting to me would be if Verizon just bought Vonage. :-)
