Google is big and visible - so they have to comply with goverment demands in the countries they are physically present. (everybody likes to chisel out something - like german cities a fee for streetview based on street length). Small fish just does not care - they are invisible and too small and too fast . So there will be no official sales in embargoed countries - like iran or kuba, and nobody will bother with small ones like swiss, because management overhead will be bigger than potential revenues. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
