Just when all our public places including restaurants and pubs swarm with wireless-dependent individuals, you hear about porn on PDAs. The symbiosis was inevitable. There was a time when public smoking was strongly considered by many the ‘pet-peeve’ of the century.Just when all our public places including restaurants and pubs swarm with wireless-dependent individuals, you hear about porn on PDAs. The symbiosis was inevitable. There was a time when public smoking was strongly considered by many the ‘pet-peeve’ of the century. As the anti-smoking lobby progressed on slowly pressuring smokers into a corner, there was a new nuisance on the horizon: Cell phones … The relentless ringing of annoying cell phone chimes has driven the sane insane.
With web enabled wireless toys, you can have content delivered to anyone, anytime, anywhere. You can trade stocks and access your Intranet. The screen might be intimidating to your eyes but the shrinking cell phone spares no slack to your fingertips. A marketers dream come true, pornographers are reluctantly excited. Unaware of limitless marketing possibilities at their disposal for their adult site, most webmasters have turned a deaf ear on the issue. In recent articles, media critics compared the misuse of WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) as SPAM. Can you imagine your dinners interrupted by a Palm Pilot beeping with Celebrity Nudes or Barely teen cheerleaders update?
First ones on the block are Sinpalm.com and Pocketpersonals.com who have found the niche very profitable. With 10,000 visitors a day, no budding Webmaster will let out a sigh. Ecommerce sites have had a good handle on delivering content to PDA for over a year. However, content delivery for porn sites had been lagging until recently. How can content, if delivered responsibly benefit you? Most porn sites have witnessed the power of a nascent, self-regulating porn industry. Talk about regulation, this will create another opportunity for software developers. Already exisitng is the anti-virus packages for handhelds, which in the future will see NetNanny and other clones developing blocking software for PDAs. After all, everyone wants his or her piece of the multi-biliion dollar pie. If I were you, I would keep my kids away from my PalmPilot.
What seemed like a half-century ago, COPA regulations tightened the reigns on the adult industry, it was unclear about the future of adult online entertainment. Then came the plethora of AVS services that put a hindering block in the way of the US Department of Justice. Now a new sentiment has arisen out of thin air. Would you like to be at the receiving end? ‘Why not?’ one may ask. If delivery is treated with the same respect as opt-in email, there is no risk of lawsuits or anyone getting their foot stuck in the law offices’ door (or in jail). Anti-porn lobbyists seem confident of the sleeping lion. Once the White House takes notice of the spread of ‘Pocket Porn,’ it won’t be long before the District Attorney’s office sets out to abolish it. I say let free speech rule. Once again, the pornographers will unite and fight them off. Time will stand the test. Only time will tell.
