The Next Picture Messaging Boom

Penelope Patsuris for Forbes describes how U.S. users still can't send pictures to phones from one network to another, but expects the volume of pictures sent wirelessly to explode when interoperability becomes mass market.

"Month after month, carriers have said publicly that they are working on picture messaging interoperability, but it has yet to materialize. The current conventional wisdom is that U.S. consumers will be able to send photos between networks by the end of the second quarter. But regardless of when this functionality actually does hit the market, it will mean big business for the multimedia clearinghouses".
