Google vs. AT&T: Gaming the System
Posted on October 15, 2009 |
The squabble between AT&T and Google over Google Voice and call blocking is descending into a familiar Old Economy pattern: Competitors trying to game the regulatory system for their own advantage. Let's hope the Federal Communications Commission, on whose doorstep this mess has landed, can keep its focus on the broader issues.
In its latest salvo, AT&T has fired off another letter (PDF) to the FCC's Wireline Bureau pointing out that by blocking calls to certain rural telephone exchanges, Google is stopping Google Voice users not only from calling free teleconferencing services and sex chats, but many other destinations including a Benedictine convent and a tribal community college.
