"Firstly, Apple’s fully formed mobile payments solution, called Apple Pay, effectively cuts telcos out of the mobile payments business in the Apple ecosystem." - barge
You omitted the first lines of my quote and therefore perhaps didn't notice that as an OS vendor, Apple is part of the obstruction to Wave's progress, along with the carriers! I agree that the OS vendors are pushing the carriers back.
"Third, the last CEO made it clear that it has been hard-going to persuade OS vendors and carriers to grant enterprise access to the trusted mobile market. And without the possibility of trust in all devices, what is the point in deploying an enterprise trust network? This admission by SS seemed to confirm a theory I had proposed that the shape of the mobile market was a serious obstruction and that the reason for the obstruction was all about who would control the cash flow. Will the US government loosen this bottle-neck? It may do, but I am not sure it will do so in a way that protects end-user interests or serves Wave's purposes."
