The whole saga around the rejection of the official Google Voice client for the iPhone continues to play a prominent role on many websites. We all remember that the FCC had asked the three companies involved, AT&T, Google, and Apple, to answer a number of questions, but Google had censored a part of its letter. The censored section has now been published by Google.

(1) Because Google seems to want a finger in every pie - they are just as likely to abuse my data as any other company, but at least if I reduce the number of companies with access to my data, I limit the distribution of it.
(2) GSM is the US is a very poor second runner to CDMA, no matter who provides the service.
Google Voice is what caused this whole stink. The point it - it was rejected/held-up/disallowed for variuous reasons - both political and strategic in nature - that much is obvious. If it had been in the UK, I doubt we'd have this issue, as O2 are a lot more forgiving. I can't speak for other territiories, but for the UK the whole debate is extremely moot.
