AT&T Reverses Policy and Allows VoIP Over Network
By
AT&T said today that it would no longer prevent customers with the Blackberrys, iPhones or other smartphones from using Internet telephone services that bypass its own voice network. Until today’s announcement, AT&T’s policy would not let users of voice chat services like Skype connect on their wireless network.
AT&T said it did not ask Apple to block Google Voice, but it did ban voice-over-Internet services like Skype. (Apple said it was still mulling Googles service out of concern that it might confuse customers.) AT&T also said in its letter that it was planning to reevaluate that decision. And Tuesday it indeed reversed the rule.
