Hi, Are you sure about the carrier thing ?
I don't see when they are involved : Clients only use the carrier as a dumb pipe here to get internet access, they pay using google checkout which have their credit card information(much like itunes does). So google handle the payment itself. When is the carrier involved at all ? I don't understand.
