Unfortunately for Skype, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin's CTIA keynote was not an April Fool's joke.
Because wireless has been a good little industry and embraced openness, Martin said Tuesday that he would recommend that his fellow commissioners dismiss Skype's request to apply the Carterfone principles to the wireless industry.

"Thus, today I will circulate to my fellow commissioners an order dismissing a petition for declaratory ruling filed by Skype."
Carterfone dates back to 1968, when the FCC opened up the Bell network to devices not produced by the AT&T wireline network, paving the way for devices like answering machines, fax machines, computer modems, and early dial-up Internet.

The wireless industry was having none of that.
Skype's petition is "deeply flawed," AT&T said in a May 2007 filing ."Carterfone was directed at a single entity - the vertically integrated Bell system, [which] dominated wireless tel ...
