Google is exercising more control over what partners and carriers can do to the Android mobile operating system, reports Bloomberg Businessweek after speaking with a dozen or so executives of key companies in the Android ecosystem. Going forward, all licensees will have to submit their plans for Google's approval, including those for new partnerships, plans for interface changes, the addition of new services and other code changes. Failure to do so will mean losing early access to the most recent updates to the mobile software, which can greatly affect time to market, and therefore, the companies' bottom line.
