AT&T Reports To FCC Regarding Google Blocking Calls To Consumers Using Google Voice

From eWeek.com:

ATandT sent a letter to the FCC protesting Google's blocking of telephone calls from consumers that use its Google Voice service to call phone numbers with inflated access charges in certain rural areas. By blocking these calls, Google reduces its access expenses, giving it an advantage phone carriers are prevented from enjoying and thus skewering the competition principles in U.S. network neutrality laws, ATandT claims. Google argued that Google Voice must not be accorded the same treatment as services from phone carriers.

Google Voice for Blackberry update

Just installed the newer version of Google Voice for the blackberry. The only changes that I can see are two additional options under Dialer Settings and they are:

1. Preload voicemails (Yes, No)
2. Update interval (Never, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 min, and 1 hour)

Download the latest version by going to http://m.google.com/voice on your blackberry browser.

Brief Gmail Outage this morning

According to Google, this brief outage only affected a "small subset of users". However small that is, I was not a part of that subset. :) Seeing a lot of complaints from users. What's the big deal. Go out for a smoke or grab a cup of coffee and relax. Not able to check your email is not going to kill you but that smoke might. :)

Another Gmail Outage.
