SMS protest

According to the WSJ, a New Zealand mobile-phone subscriber sent an average of 2,580 text messages a day in May to protest a telecom price hike.

"Allowing eight hours for sleep every day, Fraser Ray, 24 year old, zapped off 80,012 messages from his phone after Telecom announced it was ending a deal giving subscribers unlimited text messaging for 10 New Zealand dollars (US$6.29) a month".
