Thailand to crack down on cell phone porn

Thailand will revoke the licenses of mobile phone providers that provide obscene or pornographic picture services to users, according to the Washington Times.

"Information and Communications Technology Minister Surapong Suebwonglee said a subcommittee would draw up a framework to govern downloading services for mobile phones.

Picture content would be classified and pictures considered obscene would be banned.

He said service providers like Advanced Info Service, DTAC, TA Orange and Hutch agreed with the steps.

The minister threatened the violators with jail and fines, the Bangkok Post reported".
