AT&T Steps Up To Google With A Letter To The FCC
AT&T Senior VP sent a letter to the FCC stating that Googles’ Google Voice is blocking a range of phone numbers that are associated with “adult sex chat lines” and “free” conferencing calling services to avoid high access charges. The problem is they also blocked other businesses such as: ambulance service, church, bank, law firm, automobile dealer, day spa, orchard, health clinic, tax preparation service and so on, with phone numbers in that range (0000 – 9999).
It will be interesting to see what the FCC will do about this considering Google claims that Google Voice is a software product and not a carrier and they are under Net Neutrality and not the FCC jurisdiction. Either way I think Google needs to refine what numbers are being blocked.
