With the criticism by Public Knowledge group, the FaceTime may violate FCC rule. In respond to this manner, the carrier, AT&T, has written to the group regarding to the company stand over this matter. Of course FaceTime is a pre-installed app which can be disable by the carrier itself. However the carrier can’t pre-instal app but the users can download other similar app to enjoy video call from the Google Play. You can read the statement from AT&T below:
The FCC’s net neutrality rules do not regulate the availability to customers of applications that are preloaded on phones. Indeed, the rules do not require that providers make available any preloaded apps. Rather, they address whether customers are able to download apps that compete with our voice or video telephony services. AT&T does not restrict customers from downloading any such lawful applications, and there are several video chat apps available in the various app stores serving particular operating systems. (I won’t name any of them for fear that I will be accused by these same groups of discriminating in favor of those apps. But just go to your app store on your device and type “video chat.”) Therefore, there is no net neutrality violation.
