It's possible that AT&T was required by law to notify the FCC of any significant changes it makes to how a particular handset behaves on its network, but AT&T may also be hoping to relieve recent government interest in the iPhone. http://www.itworld.com/personal-tech/80196/whats-behind-atampts-new-voip-policy#comments Mobile & wireless Personal tech News AT&T iPhone Skype voip Wed, 07 Oct 2009 16:00:53 -0400 ITworld staff 80196 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/legal/77978/report-skype-founders-sue-skype With a similar legal battle playing out in the U.K., a company owned by Skype's founders has reportedly filed suit against Skype in the U.S. http://www.itworld.com/legal/77978/report-skype-founders-sue-skype#comments Legal News eBay Skype Thu, 17 Sep 2009 09:44:47 -0400 ITworld staff 77978 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/76547/new-malware-listens-skype-calls  Security researchers have found a new type of Trojan malware that listens to and records VoIP calls made via Skype. The malicious code, called TROJ_SPAYKE.C, is able to intercept Skype traffic after a call is initiated but before it is encrypted, according to a post on Trend Micro’s malware blog. The fact that Skype encrypts traffic, and therefore is viewed as safer than traditional phone calls, is one reason why so many people use it. This malware could change that. http://www.itworld.com/security/76547/new-malware-listens-skype-calls#comments Internet Security News malware Skype Thu, 03 Sep 2009 07:01:04 -0400 CaraGarretson 76547 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/small-business/70164/internet-devalues-everything-it-touches The column by Tom Foremski entitled The Internet Devalues Everything It Touches takes a fascinating look at many of the issues faced by companies in this connected age.
