In earlier (around 2009) versions of the ToS that section reads like this: *You agree not to use the XMPP API to operate or to enable any telecommunications service or in connection with any applications that allow users to place calls to or receive calls from any public switched telephone network.*
That seems reasonable to me. After all, looking at the heavy usage restrictions of the channel API, realtime-communication isn't the infrastructure's biggest forte and running a telephony system on top of XMPP could be considered misuse. I don't think Google Voice is that big a profit center to justify such restrictions. Maybe it's some kind of regulation I don't know about. Does that section really disallow ANY type of interaction of an appengine hosted site with ANY other web based application that connects to the PSTN even if that interaction is only part of the client side HTML/Javascript code and does NOT happen inside appengine? If so, would that include interacting with Google Voice? How about embedding a skype call button or a SIP-URL in my HTML? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
