In a recent job posting on Microsoft’s website, they speak about making available Mobile Operator Payment Method.
 AT&T, the second largest phone company in the USA and Microsoft have teamed up to make buying apps on your phone a whole lot easier. If you have used any other non-operator app store on any smartphone OS you will notice that there is no option for paying on your phone bill, which means for the iPhone for example Apple needs to have your credit card and on the Blackberry a Paypal account, which everyone does not have.
If established it will be a first and it should boost sales of apps and also bring in new developers in to the game. I hope this goes through and comes to other major carries soon, as it will significantly lower the barrier of entry for buying apps.
