Literally. In the latest round of <A href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/2009/09/27/google-strikes-back-against-atandt-in-broadband-spat/?icid=sphere_blogsmith_inpage_dailyfinance">sniping</A> between the two arch-enemies, AT&T has accused Google (<A href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/google-inc/goog/nas">GOOG</A>) of using its voice web calling application to block phone calls to, wait for it, Benedictine nuns.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailyfinance.com/2009/10/15/google-blocks-calls-to-benedictine-nuns-doctors-and-schools-sa/">In a <A href="http://gigaom.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/second-att-letter-to-fcc-on-google-voice-v8-filed.pdf">letter</A> to the Federal Communications Commission sent Wednesday, AT&T contested Google's claim that the search giant blocks expensive numbers on its voice service that disproportionately are used by <A href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/2009/10/09/atandt-vs-google-voice-sex-money-the-feds-and-your-phone-bill/">phone sex chat-lines</A>. The letter comes after the FCC launched an investigation last Friday into Google's voice blocking.<DIV id="continued"><BR /><DIV>
"Contrary to the public pronouncements of Google and its allies, Google's rural call blocking regime is not limited to Google simply blocking calls to 'adult sex chat line' and 'free' conference calling services to avoid high access charges," AT&T says in the letter. Google also blocks calls to a convent of Benedictine nuns, according to the company.</DIV></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/62DCD185-D6BB-4F73-A0C1-2AFD5D7047E1/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
