Is AT&T About To Join The Google Android Alliance?
Stephen Wellman | Nov 18, 2007 | InformationWeek
[FAC: The "brief report" from Mercury News, mentioned in the first sentence of this article, hides behind a registration-demanding regime whose "forgot password" function tells you that it works, and that you've been sent a new password, but it doesn't and it didn't. And I hear publishers are starving for clicks today, this being the Year 2007 CE. Go figga. So what do you think about this potential joining of the alliance by AT&T? Does anyone suppose that AT&T will do for the airwaves what VZ did for fiber? Or better yet, do you think there's any chance of VZ&T* going into this together? I mean, why wait for the next and final merger, right? Hm.. ]
According to this brief report tinyurl.com , AT&T is in talks with Google to join the Open Handset Alliance. Holy handset, Batman, this could be big. So far only T-Mobile USA and Sprint have signed on as carrier partners for Google's Android alliance. Neither carrier, however, has said what they specifically plan to do with the alliance, but so far its assumed that they will offer Android-based cell phones as well as work with Android partners to enable applications.

* VZ&T may be a commonly used acro, but I first came across it reading a post by colleague Shant H. in another forum, fwiw.
