"AT&T is playing a “gotcha” with Google. The big phone company filed a  
letter with the Federal Communications Commission Friday saying the  
Google Voicecalling system violates the commission’s network  
neutrality principles.
At issue is Google’s decision not to connect Google Voice customers to  
certain conference calling and other lines because of what it says are  
excessive access charges by the providers of those lines. AT&T, which  
is required to connect its telephones to all lines, says Google is  
discriminating against certain uses of its network, a no-no in the  
network neutrality world.

Google, meanwhile, says it doesn’t have to follow the same rules AT&T  
does."
