AT&T Attacks Google Voice Again — This Time With Nuns

[Commentary] AT&T countered Google's claims that it's blocking Google Voice calls to rural areas because they're directed to free conference call lines and sex hotlines engaged in the dubious practice of so-called traffic pumping by trotting out a convent of Benedictine Nuns who apparently can't receive, or make, Google Voice calls, either. That's hardball. The AT&T filing sets out to prove that Google is indeed more than the mere collection of Internet applications it says it is, but also that even if it were an "information service," it would still be under the FCC's jurisdiction and subject to any potential Network Neutrality rules that forbid discriminating against any type of traffic.
