Corporate Service Providers Promote Mobile Censorship. Posted Nov 25th, 2011 08:00 AM by Tom Hymes SAN JOSE/SUNNYVALE, Calif.,—Watch out, world; the mobile censors are massing at the gates. Instead of promoting solutions that offer individualized methods to filter unwanted content received on their mobile devices, these corporate service providers are trying to jump-start censorship at the network level, similar to mandatory ISP-level filtering being proposed in some countries.
One example of this entirely predictable and yet jaw-dropping strategy can be found in a press release issued Tuesday by Mobixell Networks and Commtouch. Mobixell is a U.S. -based company that “provides intelligent mobile Internet solutions to mobile operators that optimize data networks and maximize data profitability. Mobixell's flagship product, Seamless Access, enables mobile operators to intelligently manage, optimize, and monetize the surging mobile data and video traffic while giving subscribers an exceptional user experience.”
