Does anyone know if Google is paying royalties to Microsoft for use of the Exchange protocol? If so, this may be a sensible move, especially if Google is paying the royalties on a per-account basis.
Also, I'm doubtful that this affects the majority of users: on both major mobile platforms (Android and iOS), Google has a push solution with nearly identical functionality to Exchange.
- guessWhy 14y agoYes, they do (The protocol is called ActiveSync). I don't know if it's on a per-account basis, though.
- chockablock 14y agoWhat push mail solution for iOS are you referring to? The native Gmail app? I don't think I'd agree that is provides 'nearly identical functionality to Exchange'.
