FCC chief knocks Skype petition
From Times Wire Services
The Federal Communications Commission should reject a petition by EBay Inc.’s Skype division to require wireless operators to allow any device on their networks, the agency’s chairman said.
FCC Chairman Kevin J. Martin told an audience at the CTIA Wireless trade show in Las Vegas that the industry’s recent push toward openness makes such a rule unnecessary.
Skype provides free voice calls and videoconferencing over Internet connections.
