Now that we know Google is only in it for the cash—not the consumer—we can now begin to evaluate how their Open Handset Alliance and Open Access initiatives are going. Hint: not well. The telcos never actually did anything to work with Google’s vision, so it’s just business as usual in Android-land. (For the record, Apple’s in it for the money, too, but at least they’re doing something disruptive by not letting the telcos run the show.)
The passing fancies of a partial observer.
