FCC’s getting involved about Apple/AT&T’s rejection of Google Voice app

I find this dispute to be quite humorous. If you haven't read my first blog post on the matter, I suggest you head over and check it out. However, in brief, the official Google Voice app as well as others like it were all removed from Apple's App Store, claiming that they "duplicated" features already available on the phone; their way of saying, "But AT&T will loose money! So will we!" And just when I thought the story couldn't get any better, AT&T, Apple, and Google get letters from the FCC regarding the removal of the Google Voice app.

Jason Kincaid has posted all 3 letters for your viewing pleasure.

Google Voice is an amazing service that allows users to use get 1 (free) phone number and have it ring all of your other phones. The idea is to have 1 number tied to you, instead of your work, home, and cell. It offers free, unlimited text messaging and some very inexpensive international calling rates. Best of all, the service is entirely free, and is very convenient and easy to use.
