Google Sets the Date for the End of XMPP with Google Voice
mo832:
Actually, what I'm surprised at is that Obihai is not trying (from what I can tell) to modify their device so that it will work with the new google setup. I don't know too much about the technical aspects, but it seems like it could be done.
Even if you had to buy a new version of the hardware device, it would still be attractive.

I have a feeling that if OBi were to re-engineer their hardware to work with GV post May 15, 2014 Google would sue them, figure out how to cripple the fix or both.

If what you say is true, then that would seem to nullify most of what DrJay wrote above. That implies that Google actually *is* actively seeking to thwart any efforts to use the service seamlessly with an external device. I have no idea what they really think but that is why we all are speculating.

Then Google would have to do the same to other companies that said they'll do the same.

Why hasn't Google sued Sipsorcery? They have the longest running working solution. It will continue to work after XMPP is cut off. It's all about HOW things are done. If you include a PSTN termination point in the process Google does not care. ObiHai could make it work and stay on Googles good side if they followed the Sipsorcery model.
