The Onstar phone is already in the car. It's not the same thing. The equipment is there, it is functional, the network is there, people are standing by. Same thing with buying a house or renting an apartment. The phone wiring is already there. The phone is there. You just need to subscribe to the services, just like subscribing to OnStar's services.

I agree that you make good arguments, but that wasn't my original question. It was that a huge lawsuit would come of it. I'm not saying Onstar/GM should win or lose such a suit, just that they are exposing themselves to look really bad at some point in the future.
