Software developers using a pre-release version of Apple Inc.'s iPhone operating system have hit a roadblock while trying to access the popular video-calling application FaceTime on AT&T Inc.'s cellular network. The sudden change has prompted speculation that AT&T is gearing up to charge users for the data-intensive application. That's because a new notice about the restriction in the software strongly resembles a notification that emerged in another pre-release version of the software two years ago. At that time, the alert appeared just before AT&T began allowing users to pay for tethering, which permits other devices to use the phone's network connection.
