Verizon delays approval of Google Wallet, blesses own Isis payment app

http://j.mp/VgkluW  (ars technica)

    In an article posted this morning, DSLReports is alleging that Verizon
    is acting anti-competitively in its delaying approval of Google's
    phone-based Google Wallet mobile commerce application. The accusation
    does indeed appear to be based solidly in reality-Verizon's competing
    Isis mobile wallet system has been made available for a variety of
    phones on different carriers, in spite of employing the same "secure
    element" for data storage that has held up the Google Wallet app.
