CNET News Daily Podcast: AT&T finally warms to VoIP

by Josh Lowensohn October 7, 2009 1:50 PM PDT Follow @Josh

In today's podcast, we get CNET News writer Tom Krazit in the studio to talk about yesterday's news that AT&T will finally allow voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) applications to run on its network. This opens up the field for apps from Vonage and Skype to actually compete with AT&T's business, and possibly bring Google's Voice service to Apple's iPhone.
