And what exactly does the 'surfer' pay 1$ for? a single pic?
I see a few slight flaws with this idea, i dont know if you have considered them already .. but..
a) 'E-Porn' is dominant because of it's anonimity crossed with the state of mind of the surfer coupled with his environment. How many people are gonna be downloading porn while they wait in line at the bank, or eat at McD's. I dont see to many people sitting at home and surfinglarge quantities of porn pic by pic on their slow ass cell phone.
b) You also use the current size of the sms,logo,ring tone market as a reference point for pornography. Thats like saying because Sears makes so much money selling lawnmowers, that hookers should try pulling tricks in the Sears Home and garden center, the markets are unrelated.
c) We have already watched a hyped up 'mobile' market crash and burn over here, why, because it just wasnt practicle.. ever tried surfing the net on phone. The experience is less than fufilling, and even with the improvements it would be a painstaking time to select pics.. do they get to see thumbnails btw? or do they have to blindly guess if the pic is good before they by. So I have a feeling your faith in these 'millions' of sales is misplaced.
Don't get me wrong, the MMS market is probably gonna boom out there. But I just dont see it lauching an era of mobile porn. Mainly because of one simple problem, whos gonna jerk off anywhere where their cell phone is the easiest way to aquire porn. They gonna jerk off on the bus??? or will it be someone sittin there at home, holding his cell phone in one hand, waiting several seconds and paying a buck for a singular pic, and then attempting to jerk off WHILE holding his cell phone up, and squinting just so he can make out the the girls nipples. And then repeating for the next pic, christ, how would he ever manage to get off?? I dunno.....
You could definatly make a few bucks at it.. but i doubt its gonna go anywhere serious.
Just my opinion.. if you dont like it.. mabye ill mms you a a pic of my ass to kiss. LOL j/k
but seriously, if I'm way off base, please correct me.
