Thai Operators Start Blocking Spam SMS

According to Cellular News, Thailand's three main mobile network operators are to cooperate on blocking SMS spam being sent over their networks.

It is expected that the messaging hub will block 90% of the 10 million junk messages sent every day.

Customers will have to opt-in to the system to have their messages filtered, in order to protect the operators from accusations of secretly blocking legitimate messages by mistake.
