3G iSkype! Thanks, AT&T. (About frakking time.)

Skype confirms AT&T will announce lifting of the ban on VoIP over the AT&T network, this week at CTIA San Diego. The week Skype launched Skype for iPhone, someone showed the app calling over 3G on unlocked iPhones. Soon we won't have to think about our connection before calling.

It only took an FCC investigation into anticompetitive practices.

I eagerly await details. When? App upgrade required? iPhone OS upgrade required?

(now if only I could get 3G signal where I want)

(now if only Skype wouldn't choke on my 1k+ contacts)

(now if only iPhone would let Skype work in the background)

(now if only iPhone wouldn't hang up Skype calls when I get an SMS)
