AT&T to take a "fresh look" at Internet calling for the iPhone
August 21, 2009
AT&T confirmed what many have suspected: its partnership agreement with Apple requires Apple to block VoIP, or Internet telephony, on the iPhone. In comments submitted to the FCC, AT&T said it plans to take a "fresh look at possibly authorizing VoIP capabilities on the iPhone for use on AT&T's 3G network." AT&T added that it would "promptly update" the FCC "regarding any such change."
