Dig tells me that IP belongs to AT&T, but 12/8 told me that anyway.

I can't mtr to that IP, and tracing to Google from Road Runner Tampa Bay
doesn't cross it, but that's unsurprising.

If you're staff at Craigs, you probably carry enough water to look the AT&T 
NOC up on Jared's list and let them know that router's blocking Google from 
being accessible to their own 3G customers.  Including iPhone users.

Cheers,
