Apple, not AT&T, is restricting Skype over 3G, according to Skype blogger Peter Parkes.

Parkes wrote in to 9to5Mac to clarify a few things regarding the latest release of Skype for iPhone.

First they are working on Push Notifications and it will be coming very soon, "we’re working on this; we’ll release a version with Push notifications when the experience has been perfected."

Also, enabling VoIP over 3G isn't being limited by AT&T, "Many of you have also been asking when we'll release a version which allows you to make calls over 3G - the holy grail of Skype on the mobile, if you like.
