Can you dig it? Is a mobile picture worth a thousand words?

In an interesting article, it-analysis weighs the pricing issues facing operators in transmitting picture messaging over their network:

"The problem is, whilst it's easy to capture images, the cost of sharing them often outweighs the value. This creates a dilemma for operators. If they reduce the cost to send an image to make it really appealing, usage could spiral and the cost to their infrastructure could have an impact on their ability to deliver other services. The alternative is to keep the cost high, but that narrows the customer segment willing to spend more to share an image."
