VerizonVerizon, you and AT&T seem to like to block most anything that threatens your revenue streams don't you. |

Google Wallet works just fine on Sprint CDMA phones. Why not on Verizon phones? |

There's nothing wrong with them trying. All corporations try to make as much money as possible. However, this type of activity should cause the "ref" to throw a flag and at the very least, request a booth review. |

The problem is the ref is on the payroll of the bigger team. |

Google needs to "pay up" on their bribes a bit better it seems if the refs are in ATT and Verizon's court. You'd think Google would have a team of lobbyists on its side, too. |

I'm sure they do, but they are new to the lobbying game; the Ma Bell companies are old hats at lobbying, and have been funding many of these politicians before there was something called the internet. |

Very true. Hard to "Buy or Bribe" your way into an entrenched market. That takes serious capital and I wonder if Google is ready to dump that level of cash to make these folks see their side of the light. |

Why do you think Google uses the 'people' to pressure entrenched corporations to move? |

Google has the bigger community too. Something bad happens, Google uses them fight back. |

You forgot to add ATT + Verizon Vs. Google. Both Att and Verizon are unified against Google. |

said by jc10098:You forgot to add ATT + Verizon Vs. Google. Both Att and Verizon are unified against Google. Ok, I'll revise my statement: AT&T: 193b market cap, $3.9b 2011 net income Verizon: $127b market cap, $2.4b 2011 net income Google: $230b market cap, $8.5b 2011 net income Part of my point is also that at these numbers, there isn't really a "bigger" team to pay off the refs. It's an irresistible force meeting an immovable object scenario. |
