The whole saga around the rejection of the official Google Voice client for the iPhone continues to play a prominent role on many websites. We all remember that the FCC had asked the three companies involved, AT&T, Google, and Apple, to answer a number of questions, but Google had censored a part of its letter. The censored section has now been published by Google.

"we have to remember that we are dealing with companies here, and by definition, companies lie. By policy, companies will lie and deceit until their pants combust"
i'm sorry but i call bullshit, some companies lie sure, but to say that business in general are full of liars is way off base, the vast majority of business are honest for 1 simple reason ......... it keeps them in business.
if you think a business must be dishonest to get ahead you are sorely mistaken.
the same principals apply to small and large businesses so don't give me this song and dance about corrupt big business.
bad apples ... sure, but most are quite honest.
i am a business owner myself, and i really do not appreciate the generalization.

The "vast majority" hey? (Muffled laughter).
The same principles do not apply to businesses and corporations for one simple reason; Corporations are legally bound to make their decisions based solely in the interests of their shareholders, businesses are not.
So, if that means sueing the country of Bolivia because they can't afford to pay you for their drinking water anymore cause you jacked up the cost by 60%, then so be it!
The mistake you are making is that you think that people are proactive in finding out what corporations do, or more importantly, you think that people actually care. In short, they aren't and they don't.
A little education:
