Thank God there are still some decent sanctuaries left for internet privacy havens. You don’t have to be doing anything shady or crazy to simply want your privacy back.

I Stumbled across this via the recent Jared Reitzin guest post on mobilemarketingwatch.com. This is great and it is a shame that such a debunking of SMS spam’s feasibilty can’t be more widespread and more common knowledge for both consumers and businesses alike. Fear of spam is obviously one of the biggest hurdles to the public’s acceptance of mobile marketing and this kind of analysis could help suppress those fears.

I never get any spam messages, I guess I am one of the lucky ones.

No there really are billions of spam messages sent per day. AOL deals with 4 billion alone.

Uh, actually about five messages per US subscriber per year. Still a not huge problem in aggregate, but some unfortunate subscribers get many more (while some get none).

(Someone seems to have confused “million” with “billion”.)
