Amp’d Bankruptcy Hurts Mobile Porn — NYT

The New York Times has drawn a fairly long bow by reporting that “Amp’d Mobile’s filing for protection from bankruptcy on June 1 may have one unexpected side effect: a delay in the introduction of sex-oriented programming on cellphones”. It notes that members of CTIA (effectively all the carriers) have agreed not to introduce adult content until age verification systems are in place, but Amp’d had discussed offering racy fare in an analyst meeting in March. Whatever will or may have happened in terms of Amp’d offering adult content it was never going to make or break the adult mobile content market — A delay of a service that would only be available to less than a tenth of one percent of the US mobile phones users isn’t going to have a major effect.
