What I don't understand is why Skype would block 3G calling in the first place. What's the incentive for them? I understand why carriers wouldn't like it, but what power do they have over the Skype app?
- there 16y agomaybe they're just doing it to get in the good graces of those carriers, so that they'll bundle (or at least promote the availability of) skype on their next android phones like verizon did.
- pyre 16y agoI was under the impression that this might also still be tied to the concession to Verizon. Maybe Verizon made them promise not to make a version of Skype in the US that supports 3G?
- jsz0 16y agoWorse case scenario for Skype is the major carriers block their service and/or launch competing services bundled into handsets. They have to play ball or they will be facing extinction.
