T-Mobile First to Add Carrier Billing to Android Market

T-Mobile has indicated through its support forums that it is bringing carrier billing support to the Android Market. Until now, users wishing to purchase applications had to use Google Check-Out to pay the software developer directly. With this feature enabled in the Android Market, T-Mobile customers will be able to purchase apps and have the expense added to their monthly bills. T-Mobile users will notice their Android Market application update itself. Once the update is complete, carrier billing will be enabled. Users have a 24-hour period to uninstall applications that they decided they don't like before being billed. Users will also have the choice to pay via either their T-Mobile account or with their own credit card. T-Mobile is the first network operator to support carrier billing in the Android Market.

This is big!

Android Marketplace has been unprofitable for developers and substandard in quality for users. Easier billing will no doubt help.
