(keitai-l) Re: i-mode spam explosion

I'm curious about this spam issue and why Docomo hasn't set up a system like
what some ISP have done so here in the US. You can't stop spam but there are
ways of controlling it. Such a system   as blocking the IP address where the
spam was originated and have a system where Imode users can forward spam
messages to a spam administrator who can trace the origination of the spam.
Surely, Docomo can come up with something cleaver right?

As for the Imode menu can someone tell me what kind of content are now being
offered? Are the content basically desame with a few added features?

Thanks,

Virgil
