News AT&T Confirms Work on Allowing Amazon App Store Access4 CommentsWritten by Humberto Saabedra on March 29, 2011Android, AT&T
Not long after last Friday’s launch of the Amazon AppStore for Android and subsequent blockade of AT&T customers, AT&T has confirmed that it is indeed working with Amazon to allow AT&T customers to access the third-party storefront.
The recent change of stance from AT&T is a welcome change from its previous anti-3rd party app stance on Android, even going as far as disabling sideloading and forcing customers to use cumbersome workarounds to load non Market apps, as AT&T forces all branded devices to use the Android Market.
The reasoning given by AT&T for the third-party blockade and subsequent nixing of sideloading of apps is one of security concerns and customer protection, but the concerns ring hollow in the face of previous anti-enthusiast practices instigated by the carrier, such as the forced tethering plan debacle on all rooted smart devices.

I can’t believe how draconian and restrictive their Terms Of Service is getting. It’s enough to make you want the givernment to nationalize and subsidize the whole stinking telecomm mess in this country.

I feel your pain, at SPRINT they want me to drop my plan, so I can get another Smartphone, even though I have been on Smartphones for almost 5 years with this plan!
It is truly disgusting, however “the government to nationalize and subsidize the whole stinking telecomm mess in this country.” is not going to happen, due to our capitalistic system, the closest we will ever come to it, is that U.S. Congress passes a “Cellular-Telecom Consumer Rights Act”, which I have been advocating since 2007, if you reall VZW lobbied for years against “number portability”, until at last legislation was passed.
We need a Consumer rights advocasy entity, with teeth to bite!
Thank You
