As retribution for Martin Geddes and in the name of “what goes around comes around” for Google, in the irony of ironies, it is now AT&T claiming Google is violating Net Neutrality laws.

Rejected by Skype
I didn’t make the grade. They’re not going to let me play with “Skype for SIP”. I guess I’ll find a way to make it through another day, somehow.
