UK's Truphone Wins Injunction Against T-Mobile
UK's Truphone Wins Injunction Against T-Mobile: "An anonymous reader writes 'According to CNET.co.uk, the cell-phone VoIP company Truphone has won a temporary court injunction against T-Mobile, who was accused of 'preventing the launch of the Truphone service' and 'abusing its dominant position' by not routing calls to Truphone users. This ruling could have a profound effect on the cell phone industry in the UK, as Truphone CEO James Tagg pointed out in a press release. 'The injunction is good news not only for Truphone but for every company trying to develop Internet-era services and for every consumer wanting freedom of choice and lower prices. We are determined to bring better-value mobile calls, text messages and other innovative services to mobile phone users, and it's right that we should not be prevented from doing so.'' The injunction, which the article calls an 'interim judgement,' isn't the final word; Truphone and T-Mobile still need to go to trial.
