Regulators want to know who killed the app, and why Voice is different than other VOIP apps like Skype. How is it that people who are supposed to be informed about this technology still conflate Google Voice with VOIP? It seems that a lot of people are commenting on this story without actually researching it. This also insinuates that the rejection was mostly ATT's doing, which is flatly contradicted by the existence of the Blackberry GV app on ATT's network.

AT&T has treated the iPhone special before, IMHO it's very likely this was due to contractual obligations with AT&T. The key difference with Blackberry is that there is no central Blackberry App Store — regardless of what AT&T thinks, stopping apps from existing on that platform is pretty much impossible. http://daringfireball.net/linked/2009/07/28/att-om-iphone http://daringfireball.net/linked/2009/07/28/att-om-iphone
