Appropriate mobile services

The growth of content-rich multimedia services is changing the way we communicate, with enhancements like colour screens, video streaming, picture messaging, internet browsing and TV viewing.

However, the new generation of mobile communications also has the potential to distribute material that is inappropriate for some audiences, such as pornographic or violent images, video and games, gambling and betting services.

We do not wish to play the role of moral arbiter and we respect our customers' freedom to decide how they use their mobile phone and the content they access through our network. However, we want to safeguard vulnerable people - especially children - and prevent the distribution of malicious, inappropriate or illegal content.

Have your say

Do you think mobile operators should decide how people use their mobile phones?
