I saw this over on the on the S3 forums and so I decided to spread the word also. I, along with many others, are sick and tired of carriers taking control of our devices. We pay for it, it's ours. Anyways, here's the link:
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/force-cellular-carriers-allow-us-install-google-wallet-and-use-feature-all-google-nfc-devices/ZdBQqZgH

Mods, I apologize in advanced if this perhaps belongs in the Themes and Apps section. I'm just trying to spread the word.

I've signed, have you?

Signed, and had this been posted in all the other forums? Note 2, xda general and such. There are a lot of signatures needed, and only in the next two weeks.

I have no idea. But there's no harm in spreading the word ;) :good:

Signed, but to be completely honest, WH.gov is a total joke (just like our commander in chief, but that's getting too political for this thread)

My point about it being a joke is that there are tons of great petitions on there, lots revolving around specific things I feel very strongly about, like this one in particular.... the issue is that about a month or two after you sign it, you'll get an "official response" from some WH official, and it will be in this exact format:

We disagree and agree on a lot of points...... You said X, we agree with X, we've always stood by X and here's a worthless link proving it (link), but we want to make sure that X doesn't ever lead to Y, which is why we believe in Y, Y is vastly different from X, although they are one in the same...... Thank you for your signature on this petition, it's reasons like this why we created this because we're always trying to worth together, even though there's no such thing as bipartisanship in politics anymore......

and I'm done with my rant for the night, but yes, great petition, unfortunately won't go anywhere because the site is a joke

I concur completely. But if we were to somehow achieve 250k signatures, it'd be a lot more known to people about this technology and monarchy that our carriers are. If it were to become a hot topic, the next step would be to get a senator to propose a bill/law or something. I know it's a long excursion, but it'd truly be awesome....

I signed a while back. I don't expect anything, it's just the premise of it. It's like going to bob's Chevrolet to find the model you want doesn't come with the latest greatest bluetooth connection. Bob's Chevrolet has money invested in minidiscs, so when you buy a car from Bob you have to use minidiscs because bob says they're better.
