AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon give Isis mobile payment network a $100 million boost

AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon give Isis mobile payment network a $100 million boost

How do you compete with Google's new Wallet mobile payment system. Well, a $100 million cash infusion certainly couldn't hurt. AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon have plans to invest just that amount in Isis, sources told Businessweek. That sum is likely to grow, since taking on Google is no small feat, especially considering Wallet is already off the ground, with nationwide retail partners and support for MasterCard PayPass. Though Isis first made its debut last year, Google Wallet, which was announced in May, has clearly taken the lead.
