Mobile Porn Stagnates In The US Due To Carrier Fears
While I'm still somewhat skeptical about the real market size for mobile porn, it appears that there has been different adoption levels in different parts of the world. Apparently, mobile porn has been a much bigger success in Europe than the US -- and the reason is that US carriers refuse to offer any kind of premium content based on porn, which makes some sense in the current political environment. Still, the article makes it sound like European carriers are offering up mobile porn every chance they get, which isn't true at all. However, it does appear that they're at least more willing to experiment with ways to get mobile porn out to users.
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.
