Skype has appealed the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to reintroduce the well-known Carterfone rules of 1968 to control the activities of cellphone carriers who restrict subscribers’ freedom.
In the petition, eBay-owned company demands FCC to ensure subscribers to run any kind of communication software applications on cellphone carriers’ network.
Skype has urged FCC to reintroduce the famous Carterfone rules which was introduced in 1968 to free the customers from AT&T’s stringent wireless policy.
Skype’s Peer-to-Peer VoIP application has been prevented by some of the cellphone carriers in USA. It might be the reason for Skype to give high sound for Carterfone law. However, the VoIP company is not getting support from other players.
