The reason? It infringes on a Frontier patent, according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday.
Stamford, Conn.-based Frontier, which provides phone, Internet access and satellite TV, also asked a federal court to award it damages for the infringement by the Google Voice service, Reuters (News - Alert) reported.
"Google's deliberate infringement of the (Frontier patent) has greatly and irreparably damaged Frontier," said the complaint, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.
