Re: What Problem?

You just described why it's against the ToS to modify your iPhone. Sure you may be legally allowed to do it, but AT&T isn't obligated to allow you to connect it to their network. That is what the ToS states.
And I have no problem with that. A lot of people use Google Voice with Wifi so they do not burn through minutes or rack up bytes on their cellular data connections.

AT&T and Apple banned Google Voice because it is a direct competitor to their offerings. But because there is a workaround, I do not see a need for the government to get involved.
We're running in circles here.

But the "workaround" requires you to break the ToS of the contract you signed. As Karl237 See Profile stated, there is no technical reason to deny Google Voice, it's a blatant anti-competitive move. So yes, that is what the government is for and why they should be involved.

This point isn't about getting GV on your phone, it's about how GV is blocking access to some free conference numbers and should htey be deemed a telephone company.
