i have been doing some mobile stuff and i am wondering a lot about all of this as well and very curious about the issues. i might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but i just can't see how this can work in the future. it seems to me that one simple CNN story about 5th grade kids watching porn on their mobile phone in class is all it will take to spark furious debates and new legislation and it can be over in the blink of an eye. but then again, if a third party is supplying the content and the carrier has no direct liability for the content delivered to that subscribers phone (as an ISP has no liability for what you view/buy online) then maybe i am wrong. seems that the mobile industry being as regulated as it is, is very vulnerable to a simple legislative act to shut it down.
