Subject: Skype statement: AT&T to allow 3G Skype calls
Josh Silverman, President of Skype, issued the following statement regarding AT&T's announcement today that it has taken the steps necessary so that Apple can enable VoIP applications on the iPhone to run over AT&T's 3G wireless network:
"Since launching our iPhone application six months ago, consumers have downloaded and installed Skype on 10% of all iPhone and iPod touch devices sold. This clearly demonstrates that our customers are extremely interested in taking Skype conversations with them on the go on the iPhone. We applaud today's announcement by AT&T to open up its 3G network to Internet calling applications such as Skype. It is the right step for AT&T, Apple, millions of mobile Skypers and the Internet itself. Nonetheless, the positive actions of one company are no substitute for a government policy that protects openness and benefits consumers and we look forward to further innovations that will enable even more mobile Skype calling."
