Droid Life - By now, most of you know the story behind Google Wallet and the fact that it has only been officially available to the Nexus S 4G on Sprint, something that irritates the hell out of all new Galaxy Nexus owners. The other 3 major carriers here in the U.S. (Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile) have their own NFC payment system in the works and would rather you not use a competing service while they finalize everything. Basically what I’m saying is, that they have asked that the app be hidden from all phones with NFC chips that are activated on their networks. The app itself is in the Android Market, but if you attempt to view it from a phone, you will come up empty.
Google Wallet comes to Android phones in the next few weeks.
This comes after new net neutrality laws pass in California.
AT&T’s CEO John Stankey said that he expects the pay-TV industry to soon hit a level of little or no growth. He predicts that it will plateau once the number of pay-TV subscribers falls somewhere between 55 and 60 million users.
