Skype has this week petitioned the FCC to take action against cell phone networks who are limiting the subscribers right to run software applications on their handsets Skype wants the FCC to apply the 1968 Carterfone decision that famously allowed users to hook any device up to a network as long as it didn’t do any harm.
Skype obviously want network providers to allow Skype calling across their networks which is currently blocked on data plans. Skype believes that the capability would offer “tremendous new sources of price competition provided by entities such as Skype,”.
Expect mobile networks to fight this one to the end.
