Porn, Is There Anywhere It Can't Go?

Ah, the amazing things technology offers us. The cell phone company Tellus has begun offering porn in photographic and video form on its telephones, much to the distaste of many. Of course, as Tellus spokesman Jim Johannsson noted porn has been available for mobile download ever since web capable phones hit the market. The new Tellus service will provide material that is legal under Canadian law and will attempt to block underage users from accessing said content. Of course there's also the fact that they might end up making a good bit of money doing so if a prediction by a British research group proves true. Juniper Research says that mobile porn content could generate as much as 14.5 billion dollars US over the next 5 years.

Personally I have a hard enough time seeing why someone would want to watch a TV program on their cell phone. But porn? Do people really need that much help getting horny that they will squint at a tiny cell phone screen to see some boobs? And frankly I hear enough about random people's sex lives in public without them getting more encouragement to blab about it by watching sex vids on the bus or in a mall food court.
