techreports regarding this statement of yours "INSP has contracts with 88% of the market. What do you want? They are working on getting Sprint under the INSP umbra (to get 100% share)" Do you have a link or other source for this piece of news?...I was not aware of that.

you've mentioned what the CEOs and the carriers want, ok, now try thinking what the USERS want. ___ "Let me ask you a question. If you were the CEO of a major wireless carrier company would you want your users going off to Yahoo to get their email, stock quotes, shopping guide, online games, ect.. on their cell phone. OR...would you want to keep the users under your control? That's the whole idea of private label and Infospace!. The carriers don't want to become that dumb connection where their is no difference between each other. Just ask Earthlink and Prodigy. By teaming up with INSP, they can try to make their services different from each other and also increase the switching costs for the user while retaining control over the user."
