AT&T won’t charge for FaceTime over 3G, but will require shared data.
The requirement may run afoul of the FCC’s Net Neutrality rules.
Dear AT&T: _________________________
Tell AT&T exactly how you feel about the fact that it’s still blocking FaceTime and violating Net Neutrality, among other things…
AT&T’s FaceTime Blocking: There’s a Complaint for That
Yes, it’s ridiculous that AT&T is telling me and all other deaf and hard-of-hearing customers that we have to buy unlimited voice minute plans to use FaceTime on our iPhones. But it’s even worse than that. I own a new iPad that runs on AT&T’s 4G LTE network. Yet if I want to make a FaceTime call on my iPad — a device that isn’t designed to make cellular phone calls — I have to first sign up for an unlimited voice and texting plan. Just think about that for a minute.
Hey Texas!
The Net Neutrality debate is headed your way and we need your help!
FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai is holding an open forum on Net Neutrality at Texas A&M University in College Station on Oct. 21.
Sounds good, right? Wrong! Pai’s not a fan of real Net Neutrality.
That’s why we need you there on Oct. 21.
Net Neutrality rules prevent broadband Internet access providers, such as Comcast, AT&T and Verizon, from unreasonably discriminating against or blocking lawful content and applications. This principle has always governed the Internet, ensuring a robust Internet economy and a level playing field for all voices online.
In February 2015, after a year-long rulemaking process that drew a record-breaking number of public comments, the FCC voted to protect Net Neutrality by restoring it to the solid legal foundation improperly abandoned during the Bush administration. The vast majority of Americans — spanning the political spectrum — support these rules.
But some in Congress are trying to use the appropriations process to undermine Net Neutrality by burying three riders in Sections 628–630 of the financial services appropriations bill that funds the FCC. These sections would prohibit the FCC from protecting the open Internet.
Well that was quick … late Monday the first lawsuits against the FCC’s new Net Neutrality rules were filed.
HUGE NEWS: Democrats in Congress have introduced new legislation that would restore Net Neutrality!
Tell Congress: Keep the Internet WEIRD — and SAVE NET NEUTRALITY
