 | Google If Verizon pulled Google Search and Google Maps Navigation, I assume Google would pull the Market from the phones.
Google has tools up its sleeve as well. |

| Google may do that but then google is over stepping their line. That is the issue you have with OpenSource. The person or company that is deploying it can redesign it to the way they want and make it fuction that way. VZW did just that. If Google doesn't like it tell Google to start building their own phones again and working with the carriers to carry them. -- www.twopugsbrand.com Kosher, Vegan, and Organic Certified Dog and Cat treats/foods and other products! www.etsy.com/shop/snakx4u/ Organic, Kosher, Gluten Free, Vegan Human Baked Goods |

| LMAO!!!! the best thing i've read on here today!!! Who's share are they going to buy? VodoFone? LOL Maybe! After all they tried to sell their share back with ATT/Cingular deal. Google won't buy shit as far as that. and they may have a good stock price but they don't have the $$$$ to buy VZW. -- www.twopugsbrand.com Kosher, Vegan, and Organic Certified Dog and Cat treats/foods and other products! www.etsy.com/shop/snakx4u/ Organic, Kosher, Gluten Free, Vegan Human Baked Goods |

It's a moot point in any case. VZ owes 55% of VZW and isn't going to sell. Vodafone owns the other 45% and could theoretically sell their stake -- but so far they've declined to do so (VZ would love to buy them out but they won't sell) and even if they did what would it gain Google? They still wouldn't have any say over VZW's operations. |
