(keitai-l) Re: SPAM on mobile networks still an issue ?

Check out our little anti-spam initiative in the UK
www.grumbletext.co.uk/sossms.htm
You'll see the kind of problem there is in the UK with junk text messages.
And it's growing (unfortunately).

At the moment, the UK providers are doing very little.
Vodafone has a shortcode you can forward spam to and it will get forwarded
to ICSTIS (http://www.icstis.org.uk/icstis2002/default.asp our regulatory
body) but they don't promote the number ANYWHERE! AFAIK, none of the other
networks are actively working on this problem. And I can only see the
problem getting worse when we all have email on our phones over here.

Hope this helps

Subject: (keitai-l) SPAM on mobile networks still an issue ?



Folks,

I am doing some research work on the occurence of general unsolicited
messages in various media (aka SPAM).  Up to late last year there was
a lot of discussion on the topic of spam in mobile networks such as
DoCoMo, AU/KDDI and J-Phone.  As I do not live in Japan I would be
curious to know if this is still a major problem and what the
providers are doing against it.

I would be especially curious to know what the type of spam is that
you typically encounter (and how it has changed over time).

I appreciate that a discussion like this is probably off-topic for
this list and would be more than happy with direct e-mail responses.

Thanks,
Marc
