TELCOS LIFT BLOCK ON FREECONFERENCE.COM
[SOURCE: ConsumerAffairs.Com 4/13, AUTHOR: Martin H. Bosworth]
Major telecom companies that were blocking access to the FreeConference.Com calling service have agreed to lift the restrictions, at least for now, pending a meeting between the companies supporting FreeConference.Com and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) next week. The FCC said it received more than 1,000 complaints on the issue, and asked that all call blocking to the service cease until the commission met with both sides to discuss the issue. Sprint Nextel agreed to stop blocking calls to FreeConference.Com on April 12th, joining AT&T/Cingular and Qwest, according to FreeConference.Com. Company CEO Alex Cory credited the "voice of the consumer" for drawing attention to the blockage and getting it lifted.
