Adult Content Revenue To Pay For UK 3G Licenses

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."

3G must have arrived then.....

The mark of arrival for any new technology is the ability to recieve porn on it.. And to think that conservatives like to scoff at the idea that porn drives technology..

I won't buy a computerized car until i can get Jenna Jameson on my dash at 80Mph, it will be the sign that it has been endorsed and works properly.

Re:How much porn is enough?

Over-exposure (sorry) to porn causes burnout. Pretty soon the naked ladies/men aren't enough. You move onto "normal" hardcore (normal for your gender and sexual preference). Then that no longer gets Mr./Ms. Happy to pay attention and you move off into the borderline stuff. Then that no longer trips your trigger and you move further into teh realm of the odd and forbiddon. Soon you're furiously masturbating to Smurph porn and liking it.

Nothing says a market doesn't exist like it having to rely on porn to make it profitable.

Maybe the Amish are right...

This is immoral
