Skype respond to T-Mobile iPhone blocking
Skype’s General Counsel Robert Miller has responded to T-Mobile’s statement that they’ll actively seek to block installation of the new Skype iPhone app on German customers handsets.
Writing on the Skype blog yesterday, Miller gives some interesting stats.
“At the time of writing, 24 hours after launch, more than 600,000 downloads of the software had taken place on the App Store, and Skype ranks as the number one iPhone download in more than 40 countries around the world, from the US to Brazil, France and China.”
He continues:
“I find it quite telling that Deutsche Telekom would be so bold as to announce this arbitrary blocking of Skype. They pretend that their action has to do with technical concerns: this is baseless. Skype works perfectly well on iPhone, as hundreds of thousands of people globally can already readily attest. But their announcement also demonstrates that some operators do not fear the customer or regulatory consequences of their bad behaviour.”
