AT&T does a judo move by using the FCC’s new network neutrality stance against Google:
At issue is Google’s decision not to connect Google Voice customers to certain conference calling and other lines because of what it says are excessive access charges by the providers of those lines. AT&T, which is required to connect its telephones to all lines, says Google is discriminating against certain uses of its network, a no-no in the network neutrality world.
The article goes on to talk about the fact that AT&T needs to pay termination fees. They may have a point on this; however it could backfire if the FCC stats looking at reducing or eliminating the termination fees. Still, this will be a interesting test of the new policy (or the FCC’s will to enforce it.)
