Operators like everything to go through them so that they can milk their customers as much as they can. With android they are finally starting to loose their grip. At least Some of them. Making them dumb pipes will ensure that anybody can compete in the market. To depend on them for billing may be a step backwards.
Basically they don't have a good track record when it comes to allowing third party developers deploy apps on phones runing on their network. Because of this alone I don't trust them. They would still be trying to milk every cent they could had the iPhone not come alone.

Frankly I would probably use it if it were available(although kicking and screaming), but I'm not going to fight for it. I just really don't like the operators getting involved in billing. They should just hurry up and become the dum pipes they will eventually be. I feel you guys are too quick to give up the freedoms we are gaining just to make a quick buck. Long term I believe is better to not have the operators as middleman. On Apr 1, 2009, at 1:36 PM, Streets Of Boston <[email protected]> wrote: Hang on, there'll always be a middleman. What difference does it make if it's an operator or not? I don't understand your point. Please, elaborate.
