Si, in Germania fa notizia, visto che i competitor T-Mobile e Vodafone fino a pochi mesi fa impedivano agli utenti l’uso di applicazioni VoIP sulle proprie reti e solo recentemente ne hanno concesso l’utilizzo, a patto che l’utente paghi un apposito abbonamento.

O2 Germany will not block VoIP services like Skype any more and has no plans to charge extra for their usage. Until now, all four German mobile network operators had banned the use of mobile VoIP in their terms of services. Technically it was possible to use it, bt it was verboten. But O2 clients can now use internet telephony like any other data service with O2’s internet packs and their cellphones. That is a fairly striking blow against bigger competitors T-Mobile and Vodafone, which at first wanted to block Skype in their networks and now try to charge extra. Internet telephony puts their juicy profits from international phone calls in danger.
