From Reuters:

Mobile phone users around the world will spend $1 billion a year on pornography sent to their handsets by 2008, which may boost the wireless services sector much as it fueled growth in the fixed-line Internet, a market research firm said.

In the United States, consumers will be dishing out some $90 million for adult entertainment in four years’ time, the Yankee group said in a survey released on Monday.

…Excluding portals of U.S.-based mobile operators, which fear possible repercussions if pornographic content becomes accessible to children, half of all wireless data traffic consists of adult content, Yankee said.

Wowsers. (Good timing of the release, BTW, given that the CTIA show is going on in SFO this week. Too bad the show’s not in Vegas.)
