Who said anything about the operator getting a cut? Does t-mobile get to decide which 'crazy frog' ring-tones are available for purchase through someone's phone bill, and how long the return window is allowed to be?
I really hope someone might be able to clarify the carrier's position on phone bill payment methods, and how it *will* affect the market... some people have raised some valid concerns, but so far it's all been speculation. We can't just drop the possibility of the phone bill payment model just because it "might be risky, somehow". Right now the market sales are being choked because people are unable to pay for apps, and above all everyone wants the Android platform to succeed, we need to investigate options!

If Vodafone disallows my application for whatever reason but TMobile allows it? What if Vodafone decides to give their users a 48 hour return window and wants a 40% cut? Why do the carriers get a cut anyway? They're already charging users for internet access, isn't taking 30% double-dipping? How will the carriers handle the cases of "oh I didn't know it was this expensive, I want to return it" 30 days after buying the application (and using it for all of those 30 days)? I think the Market should stay as it is -- at least as far as payments go.
