The Dawn of the Hand-Held Internet

Vodafone UK is stifling the mobile Internet, by restricting the content providers, according to David Kaye, CEO of Mobilista…”This policy is both unworkable and deeply troubling. It is unworkable because it places the onus on a single company (a big company, but one company nonetheless) to classify all content on the mobile Internet, a task which Vodafone already admits it cannot accomplish even within its own guidelines! It is troubling for exactly the same reasons: it places the access provider in the role of content policeman � a role which, incidentally, ISPs across the world have been trying to avoid for years, because they realise it is hugely problematic.”
