Allow me to paint a conspiracy theory:
Verizon: So yeah Google... Apple is interested in making a deal to prioritize iTunes traffic with us. We figured we'd see if you wanted to make a deal too.
Google: No way.
Verizon: OK well, bad news, we're not going to subsidize Android phones anymore. We're never touching Google TV for FIOS. We're going to start selling the iPhone in fact -- and Apple has even let us change the default search engine to Bing as part of our prioritization deal.
Google: Well played. Where do we sign up?
- refulgentis 16y agoThat's not a conspiracy theory, that's completely making shit up. Apple doesn't appear once in the entire article.
- nostrademons 16y ago"That's not a conspiracy theory, that's completely making shit up." Aren't they usually the same thing?
- jsz0 16y agoDefinitely. It's just interesting to think about the possibilities. Things always happen for a reason. Maybe I should have added a disclaimer that it's complete speculation. If Google had made this type of deal with Comcast or Cox Communications there wouldn't be any room for wacky conspiracy theories because they have very little direct interest in any Google services or products. Verizon does. That's what makes it fun.
