Hi Dianne, Would you accept a fairly reasonable assumption that Google has a vested interest in Android operating correctly in China? ... and for that reason there must be at least one person in the entire organization that knows or at the very least would be concerned about something like this?
I posted this question on the dev group because this is simply the highest publicly accessible contact point within the Google group that have any relevance to the Android platform. If I had an alternative or for that matter if anyone else could give me a better way of finding the people in the know I would be more than grateful. Not only could I get an answer but I could avoid rattling anyones cage. Killing off this discussion by categorically saying that nobody here knows or can help is in my opinion extremely defensive and negates the useful information that has been shared or learned from the discussion, even if I still dont have a definitive answer. Please Dianne, try to see it from my point of view, I am working and living here in China, I dont have the luxury of calling up my phone company and getting a fix. Android has been a life saver for me in past year and I want to know if I must now look to alternatives or if I can hold on for the moment. Lets not make this into a tit for tat exchange, I firmly believe that someone out there knows whats going on and even if they cant share the full complexities of the problem, can at least outline what the problem is and possible outcomes. Hi Amour, So far the CMCC explanation with their own alternative market is by far the most logical explanation of what might be going on and would also explain the hush hush but I would prefer not to jump to any incorrect conclusions. Thanks again to all that have contributed!
