Apple has run afoul of
regulatory authorities in the
US after it arbitrarily refused
to approve the Google Voice
application from its App
Store. The company's offi cial
reason was that Google Voice
duplicated features already
existing in the iPhone and
degraded the user experience,
however the more likely
reason is that the cheap or
free VoIP calls and messages
would impact the earnings of
the only licensed carrier, AT&T.
Apple has publicly
disclosed its offi cial
responses to the Federal
Communications
Commission's questions. It
claims it has acted alone,
not with AT&T, and it has no
obligations to them to do so.
