XXX Spurs 3G

Pornography has always sniffed out the newest gadgets and, just as the fluid transfer of adult content has spurred advances in internet technology, so is porn expected to drive the burgeoning 3G phone market.rnrn

Third generation phones offer high speed streaming content. Private Media Group provides softcore and hardcore material for users of high-end, web-enabled phones, and president Charles Prast told CNNMoney that he expects 80 percent of the initial traffic on 3G phones to be adult oriented. This estimate might be high, but research company Visiongain estimates that the value of the pornography market will be about $70 billion in 2006 and that $4 billion of that could come from mobile telephones.rnrn

Private has agreements with carriers in Britain and Europe and is set to ink deals with two companies in the U.S. soon, according to Prast.
