Apple Late last night, Apple, At&T, and Google answered the questions posed to them by the FCC about the rejection of the Google Voice application and Apple's App Store policies. While the letters do provide a unique insight into the process, they also raise a number of questions. Note: Updates inside on the Google Contacts complaint.

I agree. I got a free Skype app on my '3'(UK) phone. Other UK phone networks do the same. Some say in their T's & C's but don't actively block it.

IMHO, this hoohah is all down to AT&T. If they won't allow VOIP on their network then more fool them.
I guess the app having the 'Google' brand on it was the turning point.
All Apple need to do is sell the app for non US customers. The, I'm sure will get the FCC off their backs and firmly onto AT&T's.

If this is all down to AT&T then why do we not have Google Voice in the UK app store? AT&T should have no influence at all, of course I'm sure O2 would/ have objected as well. Perhaps OFCOM should take a look into things, although that usually just results in a stern telling off and being told not do so again.
