perhaps they are blocking it in iOS 6 beta and once it is out of beta they
will unblock it?

Hi Group,

As this list allows pretty much anything and as at least with most mail
clients, the original message was virtually unintelligible because of mail
transfer traffic and the inability of this ancient server to decode Rich
Text format, I have taken the liberty to resubmit this article by removing
all of the coding and by sending it in plain text.

Please! everyone should change their outgoing message format for this list
to 'plain text' format.  Most modern mail clients allow for this: Outlook,
Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Windows Mail and Live Mail.  Some day, maybe
we will be on a server that can handle the modern formats.

got this off of free press's website. I think for those of us that
live in the uSA and that's most of you that I'm sending this to we need to
take action. At&t are becoming ridiculous in their actions tward iPhone
users and if we don't stop them they will nickel and dime us for everything
we've got.  The ccc<I assume FCC is meant here>  wants to hear from you so
even if you are not an iPhone user express yourself here. The message
explaining everything is below. You can always opt out of receiving emails
from them ever again if you do this. I won't as I want to fight for what I
personally believe in, bent newtratlity and internet freedom, and the how I
choose to use my device. Share via the link given to you on facebook,
twitter, any social network you can. Shout this to the masses!

Share this info Then act to stop AT&T blocking
Dear Sarah,
 electricity to earmuffs, once you buy a product from a company,
it shouldn't be any of its business how you choose to use it.
Then there's the upside-down world of AT&T.
The telecom giant just announced it is crippling the FaceTime video
calling app on its customers' iPhones unless they subscribe to a
more expensive text-and-voice plan. That's right!  AT&T
will block one of the iPhone's best features unless users pay more money
for less data and unlimited voice minutes, none of which they need to
use FaceTime.
This is not just an insult to customers, it's a violation of
Net Neutrality. Tell the FCC to take action against AT&T's blocking.
If we had actual competition for mobile phone service in America,
AT&T's latest scam would never fly. You'd simply take your
business elsewhere.
But we don't have any competition. We have a market dominated by
companies that force consumers into ridiculous service plans that make
you pay more for less.
Meanwhile, the FCC's Open Internet Order explicitly prohibits
AT&T from screwing over iPhone customers this way.
The rules state that mobile phone providers can't "block
applications that compete with the provider's voice or video
telephony services. And yet, AT&T is doing precisely that
violating the letter and the spirit of Net Neutrality.
Tell the FCC to take action against AT&T's blocking.
Companies like AT&T and Verizon have shown they'll consider
all sorts of ridiculous things to prop up declining revenue streams like
voice and text.
Today AT&T is blocking FaceTime unless you pay its toll. But tomorrow
it could be Skype, Google Voice or Messages.
And that's why users everywhere need to speak out against
AT&T's harrowing vision for our wireless Internet future.
Take action now: Put a stop to AT&T's attack on its customers
and on Net Neutrality.
Thanks,
Craig Aaron
