Hyperbolic? I don't really see where. The only thing I might call it is derivative, since Steven Frank of Panic said much of the same things yesterday about his reasons for leaving the iPhone/AT&T world.

I've been torn lately as well about staying in the AT&T ecosystem (mostly over the dropped call rate in New York City). It's embarrassing to be talking to a client only to have your phone call drop (three times in a 15 minute conversation on one occasion).

jm4 says it best regarding the quality of editorial content in TC... but i'll just say he doesn't acknowledge that there are very solid business reasons for blocking a competitor like google releasing a voip product that competes with at&t's network, cannibalizes revenue, etc.

he accuses at&t/apple of moral failure for acting in their best business interests as if techcrunch doesn't operate according to the same principles (not that there's anything wrong with that).

For the last time, it's not a VoIP app!
