Cool! Unfortunately, Verizon still won’t let me install it. I am rooted and have tried everything except the apk. It just makes me nervous to install an apk for something like Google Wallet.

They can’t keep people from tethering with tiered plans. Unlimited plans seem to be still under restriction.

Using their weight as the number one carrier to manipulate manufacturers. They are placing the blame on them while trying to maintaining the image of pro consumer network.

AT&T and other carriers are using the argument that wireless broadband is limited enough that allowing tethering would bottleneck their network because of out of control consumers. Basically, they argue that we’re untrustworthy to not abuse the network though they offered up unlimited data.

Verizon can’t block apps from LTE based phones. Verizon doesn’t control the Play Store, but they hold a lot of leeway with Google because of the amount of backing they put into Android phones. Verizon asked Google to not include Google Wallet in the app store and Google wavered based on not creating bad business. So technically Verizon isn’t the one blocking the app, Google is blocking the app at the request of Verizon.

I think it used to be Google checkout back in the early to mid 2000′s, when you could sign your card into Google’s secure payment feature and purchase items from multiple websites with the Google checkout, kind of the same way paypal works. The first time I used Google checkout it gave me like 20%-40% off my first purchase.

The FCC ruled they could no longer block tethering apps or keep people from tethering on their plans…that’s all I know about.

Didn’t Verizon get told that they can’t block apps because of a block of spectrum they purchased, or are they finding some loophole to keep blocking wallet.
