Through or Around?
Isn’t the real question not through or around, but whether the application vendors need the carrier network as a channel? After all, if you could go to market without having to languish 18 months in trial, why would you waste the time?

Well put Alec. I agree with your question.
The current vehicle for delivering the applications for the mobile platform are too “carrier” centered. Nobody will “need” them if there is a new vehicle that can be implemented (I have been mulling over some ideas for a little while now), but till then, I guess most will need to work “through” them.
