Upon further reflection, I think the true litmus test will be how Apple and AT&T formally respond to the FCC inquiry about Google Voice. That is due no later than the 21st; a week from Friday. That decision really cuts to the crux of the whole thing for me, and the great thing (for us users) is everyone has to come out and say something about what happened. No more speculation.
I get the feeling that a good chunk of the developer community’s watching and waiting on the FCC to see what’ll happen here. The weasel-like initial response from AT&T which at first glance seemed to answer the question, but actually didn’t, surprised precisely nobody.
