Android terms point to operator billingCitat:
Changes to the small print of the Android Developers' agreement show Google's plan to hand over application revenue collection to network operators - a task they'll be glad to take on.
The changes, highlighted in a post on the Android Developers' blog, adds "authorized carriers" to the list of indemnified parties and creates a new section relating to payment processors, which should push Android handsets to the front of any mobile operator's advertising campaign.
The post even clarifies that the changes are "in preparation for some work we’re doing on introducing new payment options", just in case it wasn't already clear.
Operators would love to be able to sell applications and take advantage of the opportunities presented by in-application purchasing – selling application-specific bandwidth for example - but they also see application sales as compensation for rapidly-declining voice revenue.
Apple's iPhone ecosystem channels all the revenue from applications to Cupertino without the network operator getting a penny. This has inspired Nokia to try the same thing with Ovi, though Ovi does promise operator billing at some unspecified point in the future, while Samsung's Bada unapologetically follows Apple's lead.
Oho... izgleda Google igra na jako dobru kartu - ako dozvole operaterima da zaradjuju pare na procesiranju prodaje Android aplikacija, to ce i te kako motivisati operatere da pojacaju Android ponudu. Odlicna taktika.
Jedina losa stvar iz svega ovoga moze biti da operateri imaju vise razloga da zakljucaju Android telefone, kako bi korisnici mogli samo da instaliraju aplikacije sa zvanicnog izvora... Opet, sa druge strane, posle vesti danas, postoji bar mala sansa da nesto nauce :)
