| A non-issue
Text messaging is, well, text messaging.
If you raise a generation of text messaging addicts, and their parents are gullible enough to subscribe them (after they can longer keep their precious kids on a leash, they're easily convinced that somehow a cell phone will protect them from the boogeyman, and they'll "always know where they are"), then it is only a matter of time before the extortion will begin.
The solution?
No text messaging.
Telco will always play the same game. Threaten to charge by the unit, so as to convince to buy a higher service level package. Consumers are typically too gluttonous and too proud to meter their use, so they pay. |
