Vice President Of Mobile Porn

from the now,-there's-a-job-title dept

Hutchison 3G, the British wireless company, has announced that they've appointed an executive to look into mobile porn. They think that on a 3G network, porn could be a huge revenue driver (probably true). I just wonder what the guy tells people he does for a living. He works for a nice, respectable company and he's in charge of figuring out their porn strategy. The article then goes on to talk about how some don't think porn will be a big deal on mobile phones, which I think is probably a bit naive (the quote about it crossing the "public/private" line is just silly). Though, they do say that in the US, "moralistic" opposition will make sure that phone companies figure out how to block any sort of wireless porn here.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Some US carriers are promoting advances in wireless porn, without really promoting wireless porn. PocketJoy.com is one such site. Apparently Sprint PCS is behind that site.
