The internet speed for these terminals in the US must be crap.

No, the US and Europe systems are different, and use different technology. US = Chip and Signature, EU = Chip and PIN. http://www.mytotalretail.com/post/u-s-vs-europe-taking-retail-technology/ It's dumb, but there it is. Contactless will take over in the long run. Love my Apple Watch for that.

Most us retailers rely on satellite links which in most cases give you 256k max. While most independent retailers using square or alternatives use 3g or 4g cellular data. I think if adoption of internet protocols in the business world match those in our homes there would be a seamless Apple Pay experience 

Is google only pushing this to iPhones or are they pushing this to there android flock. Most of the features are already available on Apple I get alerts ahead of time for my appointments with maps and traffic. It sounds like they are trying to stay relevant to the competition that hasn't been released. 

The problem in Cupertino much like all cities in California are simple math. They receive constant cash flow religiously from APPLE and they use it for compensation and pensions instead of what they are supposed to due with it. And then buildings start showing some wear and tear from lack of upkeep and they say lets go to the tap and get more. There response is typical the same but Apple has millions of dollars due your fair share. Don't question is we are the responsible ones
