AT&T's Jim Cicconi, senior executive vice president for external and legislative affairs, issued statement accompanying its response to the FCC stating AT&T had no role in Apple's rejection of the Google Voice app.

"AT&T was not asked about the matter by Apple at any time, nor did it offer any view one way or the other," Cicconi wrote.

In , Vice President of Mobile Platforms Andy Rubin wrote that Google "did not reject an application from Skype or from any other company that provides VoIP services. To suggest otherwise is false." While technical limitations once prevented a full-featured Skype app, Rubin effectively blamed the current lack of true VoIP apps on developers, saying no one has submitted one yet. Rubin did acknowledge that wireless carriers can filter applications that violate their terms of service, though T-Mobile has denied that it weighed in on Skype.
