Nope... even Google Talk video chat is restricted to WiFi only.Because Android Video Call software is made by Google.
And iOS FaceTime software is made by Apple.
And Apple is pissing to their customers faces blocking 3G from FaceTime. Not the carriers.

But like I said earlier, it's easy to remove the restriction.
People with glasses and beards now use the internet too?
I don't have to convince you. That's the way it has been between Apple and AT&T since day one. AT&T has always had some say. Take MMS and Tethering as past examples. All were delayed or restricted by AT&T.And iOS is also Apple's domain. And whatever they put in is also their decision.
You're not making a very convincing case here... What would the carriers do if Apple showed them the finger and made Facetime work over 3G ? Not carry the iPhone anymore ? I'd love to see a carrier try that card...
Sorry, I'm just not buying it.
Yes... very much so.restricted with android phones?

True... I don't entirely buy it myself, but what other reason would Apple have to restrict Facetime other than carriers saying they don't want it enabled on their networks?We've never had official word from either entity, only speculation by the media that it has been AT&T.
Seeing how AT&T allows tethering and MMS with other handsets/manufacturers, and video calling, again, seems to me people are just blaming the carriers a bit too easily.
Again, I'm not buying it this time.

I'm looking for the motivation behind the decision.
People with glasses and beards BUILT the internet
The average person, probably never.
The not so average entitled whiners on sites like this that are simply mad about being told they can't do something because they don't like being told that no matter what the reason, if you listen to them it is the end of the world that they can't FaceTime on a cell connection. Classic first world problem.
yes and first www server was on Steves NeXT Cube in Europe (?)![]()
It wasn't Steve's NeXT Cube.
I don't get it.
The telephone companies are in the business of selling service!
They make their money by getting people to spend MORE time online.
The MORE tethering and Facetime that people use, the MORE money they make.
We're hearing more and more about capped Data on mobile networks - is anything being done to increase the amount of data mobile companies can provide?
