Remember how AT&T complained to the FCC about Google’s Google Voice application? Apparently the FCC took things very seriously. The Commission is now investigating Google. It looks that the feature of Google Voice that lets the app block certain call poses a serious issue. Google Voice does block calls to rural services, conference call services and chat lines in order to help the user save some money. But that’s not exactly the best of intentions is it?

FCC has sent a letter to Google asking it about the way calls get routed with Google Voice and how the whole numbers blocking works. We’ll be curious to see what the FCC has to say about Google Voice. Google on the other hand will defend itself by saying it’s only offering a software solution which can’t be subject to carrier laws. In other words, it will be some time until we see Google Voice on any iPhones!
