I'm really surprised to see many posts saying that there will be no mobile - porn market. To be honest, I can't understand why do you think so.
Few years ago noone believed in SMS and nowadays teenagers
send about 10-30 SMS'es daily.
Mobile phones - particularly in Europe and in Asia are the most important thing fo young people, even more important than the PC. Teenagers change their mobiles at least every year.
In poor countries parents safe money on food to buy new mobiles for their kids. Teenage kids change their mobile tones and logos every week and yes - they pay for it. ( there are many such services on the web, they got referral programs too ).
They show their new mobiles to their friend. Soon - after the prices fall - the majority of mobile phones will be able to display ( and even take ) pictures. In another two or few years, not only pictures but also videos. And yes, there will be h u g e demand ( worldwide ) for mobile porn. And people will pay for it using SMS ( something like pay - per view ), like they pay with their phones for new tones, to vote in a reality show or to get anonymous access to a porn site.
I haven't read the article, but there simply must be huge market for mobile porn. We can only hope that instead of losing we will profit from it.
