I reckon this is what is going to become the trend in the future with large companies like this. Once they know that the supporting services adhere to KYC requirements, then they would be more willing to accept Bitcoin as a payment option. I can use Bitcoin with most of the local e-commerce sites, but they only accept it, if you do this through payment processors that adhere to strict KYC requirements.
I think a lot of them are scared that their services or companies would be used as money laundering operations to "clear" dirty bitcoins and that would threaten the future of their business. We cannot blame them, if their local laws and regulations stipulate certain requirements for them to accept Crypto currency payments. <Most countries only define Bitcoin as a commodity and not as a currency, so this pose a challenge to these companies.>
This is quite expected as businesspeople do not want to get entangle with the government for any reason. These people know that there is a potential in the use of cryptocurrency but they know how to be careful not to be embroiled in legal battle no matter how trivial it can be. Third-party infrastructure can be helping a lot the business sector get into the cryptocurrency bandwagon easily and safely. This is in a way can help a lot towards the expansion of the whole cryptocurrency industry.
