Connecticut announces lawsuit against Vonage

An AP newswire story on Newsday.com reveals that:

State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal on Tuesday announced he'll sue an Internet telephone company, accusing it of misrepresenting its ability to connect callers to local 911 emergency dispatchers.

Blumenthal, with Edwin R. Rodriguez, commissioner of the Department of Consumer Protection, said Vonage Holdings Corp. violated the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act. The lawsuit is to be filed in Hartford Superior Court.

As Mike over on techdirt.com points out, however, this is appearing to become an issue of more states simply taking out their "lack of taxation frustration" on Vonage's 911 service.
