Adult Content Revenue To Pay For UK 3G Licenses

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday January 13, 2003 @09:57AM from the careful-what-you-wish-for dept.

Makarand writes "According to this article in The Guardian mobile phone companies in the UK are turning to soft porn in a bid to recoup the billions they have splashed out on third generation licences. If the industry can persuade regulators that they can come up with a fool-proof way of registering phones that are owned by those who are 18 and above it will clear the way for a major new revenue stream using adult content. Dedicated teams at companies using 3G licenses are already looking into making money from adult content."

but do I really want/need the ability to access gigabytes of it no matter where I travel? What happened to the power of imagination. When I take a trip longer than three nights, I'll throw a pr0n0 mag in my suitcase. For shorter trips I just visualize while spanking the monkey.
