A brief review : Google Voice does n’t reserve call to some rural numbers , sexy public lecture line or conference call services because the access and termination fee to them are costly . AT&T has oh - so - kindly asked the FCC to enquire them for not surveil final neutrality rules ( hilarious , sinceAT&T is quite pissy about the FCC ’s serious desireto put on them to mobile broadband networks ) , for the most part because AT&T got smacked for doing the same thing back in 2007 . The FCC these days , headed by Mr. Neutrality Julian Genaschowski , is all aboutinvestigating stuff , so they ’re dutifully ask GoogleWTF is up with that .

Google enunciate they ’re not allow for a phone service like AT&T , but a free software / web service that ’s a addendum to your phone , accent on the free part :
Google Voice is a free software and we want to keep it that way for all our users — which we could not yield to do if we paid these ludicrously mellow charge .
throw that Google Voice is n’t even a VoIP table service and run on top of your actual phone service — not to mention , is invite - only — they sorta have a stop . Plus , um , barren is good . [ Google Policy BlogviaArs ]
