The Google Voice fiasco with the FCC, Google and Apple has taken another turn. According to a new full text released by the FCC, Phil Schiller, the man overseeing the app selection process, personally rejected the Google Voice app for duplication of functionality. This is big news because Apple told the FCC a different story.
When the FCC investigation started, Apple claimed they did not reject the app but were in the process of still reviewing it. The released letter from the FCC says Phill Schiller told Google that the app was going to be rejected. What do we make of this? Seems like Apple is either lying or aren’t communicating on the matter. If Apple claimed they’re still reviewing it but Google says it’s already been rejected, it’s going to be a long road ahead for both companies. Should be interesting to see how things pan out for both companies.
