Carramba che sorpresa! Esposto alla FCC in arrivo per AT&T per Facetime a pagamento…

Facetime a pagamento ? – a Quinta ‘s weblog : un Blog di Stefano Quintarelli.

tra l’altro sono proprio curioso di sapere come la prenderebbe skype se facetime fosse a pagamento dall’operatore e skype fosse *bloccato* (e cosa avrebbero da dire le autorità europee…)

.. e trsa poco lo scopriremo per le autorità USA (FCC)

AT&T faces formal FCC complaint for blocking cellular FaceTime use | Ars Technica.

… the objecting groups say, violates the FCC’s Open Internet Order. “By
blocking FaceTime, AT&T is harming its users and holding back mobile
innovation,” Public Knowledge attorney John Bergmayer said in an
emailed statement. He described AT&T’s policy as “illegal” and
declared that “Public Knowledge intends to follow the process the FCC
established to make sure AT&T follows the law.”

The FCC process requires the groups to give AT&T ten days notice
before filing a formal complaint.

AT&T can’t necessarily count on backup from its major competitors.
Both Verizon and Sprint have announced that they will not impose any
special restriction on the use of FaceTime chat over their cellular
networks.

Our own Nate Anderson has described AT&T’s FaceTime policy as
“bizarre and arbitrary.” “The real issue here isn’t FaceTime,” he wrote,
but “the future of innovation—and who controls it—in mobile computing.”
He suggested that AT&T had adopted the policy because its cellular
network lacked the capacity to accommodate a flood of FaceTime calls.
