Wireless Industry Aims to Monitor Adult Content

According to a Wall Street Journal report, some wireless carriers in Asia and Europe are turning to adult-content to spur the use of wireless services. Analysts expect spending on such content for wireless phones to exceed $1 billion in 2005, up from almost nothing a few years ago, and to triple or more within a few years. Currently in the U.S. there are no specific regulations governing adult content on wireless phone. CTIA- The Wireless Association� is now formulating guidelines that tackle two issues: classifying what materials should be restricted and how to technologically prevent minors from accessing such material.
