AT&T May Join Google's Open Phone Coalition
Perhaps the idea isn't so bad after all
It looks like AT&T may have decided to join Google’s “open phone coalition” after all. When announcements were made about the coalition earlier this month, AT&T and Verizon Wireless were not on the list of over thirty companies planning to assist Google in the development of mobile phone software. Both carriers were lukewarm to the idea of letting the new technology work on their phones. Apparently AT&T is warming up to the idea. Wireless CEO Ralph de la Vega says that he hasn’t spoken with Google yet and is still "analyzing the situation" but appears to be leaning towards joining the alliance.
