...carriers. "If they don't embrace these things, they'll lose the game," he says. That's a peace offering wrapped in a warning. He could take them head on, but he would gladly partner with mobile operators as the behind-the-scenes technology provider, wrangling wi-fi phone traffic that a mobile-phone company would front. Next up: the games and entertainment sector. In November, Polk struck a deal with Nintendo that lets owners of the wi-fi-- equipped Nintendo DS game machine play networked games for free at the Cloud's hot spots. Guess whose business stands...
