An open-Internet advocacy group asked the Federal Communications Commission Friday to investigate whether Apple Inc. and AT&T Inc. are violating federal rules by limiting use of a new low-cost Skype voice service on iPhones.
Since its release on Tuesday, Skype's iPhone service has become the most popular download at Apple's iPhone software store. Skype users can call each other free or can place calls to traditional landline and mobile phones for a small fee.
The request by Free Press, a group that has a history of attacking efforts by cable and wireless companies to restrict usage of their networks, could open up a broader review of the ways in which wireless companies control the use of their networks.
