AT&T blocks Google Hangouts video chats on Android http://j.mp/YMFxPq (Fierce Mobile) "AT&T Mobility (NYSE:T) is blocking video chat features integrated into Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) new Hangouts messaging service for Android. The standalone Hangouts app--introduced Wednesday and also available for Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS and the Web--integrates text, photo and video interactions into one service, rivaling over-the-top messaging efforts like WhatsApp, Viber and BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY) Messenger. SlashGear reports that video chat functionality is disabled on AT&T Android devices connected to the operator's cellular network, although the feature is accessible over Wi-Fi connections. iOS users can send and receive video calls over the AT&T cellular network as well." - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info - Data Wisdom Explorers League: http://www.dwel.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren / Twitter: http://vortex.com/t-lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
