Here is what I said to them.
To whom it May Concern.
Google is in the process of Purchasing Softcard a mobile based payment system like Apple Pay from wireless providers T-Mobile At&t and Verizon
Google Commerce: Tap, tap. Who's there? Google Wallet and Softcard! . Now the Service Google is buying, Softcard has an app made for the windowsphone operating System. The problem here is that Google (The acquiring Party). Purchased another app developer that had made an app for Windowsphone called waze, after Google acquired waze all windowsphone apps made by waze were not updated or supported after said acquisition
Waze: No plans for Windows Phone app update | Windows Central . Google says the purchase of Softcard is to improve competition for there current Smartphone platform android and their service like softcard, and Apple pay, Google Pay. Android had both Google Pay and Softcard as apps. Windowsphone only has Softcard. If Google is able to Acquire Softcard? Windowsphone will lose a payment service that they only have. Softcard will be swallowed up by Google Pay and Become Google Pay. Google has also said they will not make Google apps for Windowsphone due to Low Market share of the platform
Google Nixes Apps For Windows 8, Windows Phone - InformationWeek . The funny thing is Google makes apps for Blackberry a platform with so much low Market share their Ceo is demanding Congress to force developers to make apps for it
BlackBerry CEO writes Feds, seeks mandated cross-platform development - Zedkin . I as a windowsphone user feel that Google by trying to purchase Softcard and not supporting Windowsphone with apps is being anti competitive and trying to make sure Microsoft has no way of having a Mobile platform and making Iphone or Android the only two choices for Mobile users.
A) Windowsphone has a right to exist and Google is trying to crush that. To improve their own platform Android.
B) I feel the only way Google should be able to acquire Softcard is if they do one of three things.
1. Produce or help Microsoft Produce official Google apps for Windowsphone, including but not limited too Youtube, Google Maps, Google Plus, and Google Voice.
2. Continue to produce Softcard For Windowsphone, or help Microsoft find a replacement for Softcard.
C) 3. Spin off android and chrome. Give to Open handset Alliance, or sell both platforms to another Company.
What Google is doing is anti competitive and should be resolved before Google can acquire Softcard.
I hope you all help me defend Windowsphone by complaining about the soft as puchachase to someone who can fix the problem.
