Today Google sent the FCC a letter wherein it disclosed that it will limit the types of calls it blocks with its Google Voice product. Google said, "We told the FCC today that Google Voice now restricts calls to fewer than 100 specific phone numbers, all of which we have good reason to believe are engaged in…schemes."

The FCC said it is reviewing Google's letter, but has not said it will call of its own investigation.

AT&T resents Google. No wonder Verizon jumped in bed with Google.
