Alea,

One final point in the Wallet Wars, it will take some time but it will sort itself out. I believe in the end the industry will play nice with each other.

"FCC asked to investigate Verizon Wireless over Google Wallet flap

14 December 2011

Nonprofit advocacy group Free Press is asking the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to investigate Verizon Wireless for blocking the Google Wallet application on the Android-powered Galaxy Nexus smartphone allegedly over security concerns.
Free Press charged in a Dec. 13 letter to the FCC that Verizon Wireless may be denying access to Google Wallet because it is developing its own mobile payment technology through a joint venture with AT&T and T-Mobile called Isis.... etc.

Hi 4321,

There are many of them depending on who is doing the deletions. Some of the admins have no idea what is on topic and what is off topic. They can cope with conversations about price and ownership, just about.

Yes - this article is exactly the thing we've been talking about. Politics of the market. It's damned frustrating but it is what it is. Unlike the PC space, mobile isn't an open model world. The world would be much better off if the MNOs were willing simply to act as bit-pipes. But they have grander ambitions. Thanks for the link.

I think when Wave comes to market in the mobile space it will want to deliver trusted applets. Should be some money in that on top of the fixed fees for ERAS etc.
