Techcrunch: Google’s Response To FCC Inquiry: We Now Restrict Calls To Fewer Than 100 Phone Numbers

Google has responded to the FCC's inquiry regarding Google Voice (see document embedded below). There's been and intense back-and-forth between AT&T, Google, and the FCC over Google Voice’s blocking of some rural telephone numbers. AT&T recently sent a letter to the FCC to undermine Google’s recent argument that it’s blocking exorbitantly expensive calls to some numbers in part because they are associated with sex lines. AT&T’s also thinks that the FCC should consider regulating the search giant on the web as well. Google response says that its engineers have developed a "tailored solution" for restricting calls to specific numbers engaged in what some have called high-cost "traffic pumping" schemes, like adult chat and "free" conference call lines. Google didn't want these schemes to exploit the "free nature" of Google voice and over the past few weeks have been trying to locate the source of the problem. Google now says that Google Voice now restricts calls to fewer than 100 specific phone numbers, which Google thinks are part of a traffic pumping scheme.
