Mobile phones to track paper boy deliveries

2,500 Danish paper boys have been given mobile phones for their paper route, with a so-called "Paper boy menu", according to Cellular News.

"When the boy starts off on his round in the morning, he dials up the menu and presses Start. DAD can then see that the round has started. While he is on his round, DAD can send messages to the paper boy, or before if papers are late, for example. When the round is over, the paper boy sends a message that he is finished".
