AT&T announced today that it is planning to allow any customer “with an LTE device” on a “tiered data plan” to use iOS 6’s FaceTime over Cellular feature. Previously, only customers with a Mobile Share plan could use the feature.

Either you believe AT&T that the delay in rolling this out to more (but not all) customers was the result of engineering challenges — or — you look at the history of the company and realize they’re likely only doing this because the government immediately started looking it as a net neutrality violation.

Strange how Verizon was on board with FaceTime over cellular (and not just LTE either) from day one without these engineering challenges. Maybe AT&T would do better to just say that Verizon has the far superior network?

It amazes me that AT&T appears to be the only iPhone carrier on the planet that limits FaceTime over Cellular to only customers on specific data plans. Granted, not all carriers support FaceTime over Cellular at all — and of course there are places like Saudi Arabia where it isn’t even available over Wi-Fi — but generally if its available, it seems it’s available to all customers without prejudice.
