Is your generic studies 101 lecture not keeping you on the edge of your seat, and is Sudoku just not risqu?? enough? Do you have a cell phone? Maybe the solution to your doldrums is porn'more specifically, grainy slow-loading porn on a tiny pixilated screen. But in the age of cars ?pimped? with high def TV-head rests, this just won't do.
Indicators of the marketability for mobile porn (or mo-po as we are hereby coining right here, right now) already exist. In Europe, tens of millions of dollars are supporting the industry. Stateside, Xobile, a company selling hard-core video clips designed for phones, is enjoying booming success.
Conveniently, the nation's largest cell phone service provider, Cingular Wireless, recently introduced password-protected blocking software and filters. While not lauding this feature for a specific purpose, the ability to control internet access is useful for only a limited range of internet content.
Cingular's censorship efforts could be a sign of things to come as pornography companies push for their ideal scenario'a menu option on cell phones that links to adult content custom'made for cellular phones. Unfortunately, if mo-po becomes mainstream, the line 'is that a cell phone in your pocket or are you just happy to see me'? will definitely be overused in the near future.
