Small, anonymous SMS-based donations to nonprofits like Wikipedia are common, and supporters of similar political donations say they provide an easy way for people to contribute small amounts of money. Carriers, however, apparently want to make sure that they will be held responsible for passing on donations from people who are not eligible to give. Non-American citizens, people who have already hit their donation limit, and very young children could all have cellphones but be barred from donating money. Though this system is likely to be approved by carriers eventually, one anonymous executive says that "it's not clear that telecoms are anywhere close to coming to terms of what's going to happen here," making it far from certain it will be ready in time for the 2012 election season.
