Google has an advantage over the other contenders since it already has the technology available. Google's latest proposal entails expanded use of its Checkout product, which currently lets users shop across the Web but sign in in one place. Its newspaper platform would include a similar single sign-on where users could peruse content from different newspapers for one price...
...next 12 months are about getting the rest of the brand to the finish line. "Convincing the first person to sign up is easy," says analyst Champion. "Convincing the last person is much harder." IHG is going to have to do a good job of showing cash-constrained owners what returns they can get - and proving to road warriors that the changes have created a better hotel.

...officials won't judge the Oct. 1 meeting in Geneva as a one-off sign of Iran's intentions. Administration officials have indicated that they will decide by the end of the year whether Iran is cooperating in good faith. European officials suggest that the metric for success in Geneva may be simply the tone of the meeting. The last time the same parties sat around the table, Iran's negotiator, Saeed Jalili, subjected his interlocutors to lengthy philosophical harangues in a kind of diplomatic filibuster. This time they'll be looking for signs that Iran is ready to cooperate...
