What Laws Regulate Mobile?
CAN-SPAM Act
In August 2004, the FCC voted to amend the CAN-SPAM Act
of 2003 to outlaw all commercial e-mail messages to mobile
phones and pagers unless the device owner has given
"express prior authorization.”
The ban does not cover "transactional or relationship"
messages, or notices to facilitate a transaction already
entered into with a customer.
Consumers must be allowed to opt-out of receiving future
messages the same way they opted-in. Senders have 10
days to honor opt-out requests.
Violators are subject to fines of up to $6 million and up to
one year in jail for some spamming activities.

  1. The Mobile Ecosystem: Players and Playing Field --The Initiative Owner or their Marketing Agency/Ad Agency create the mobile initiative idea and specifications --The Application Service Provider (ASP) provides the mobile software and hardware back end technology, mobile management services, and mobile expertise in helping create, develop and manage mobile initiatives --The Network Aggregator’s main function is to provide a single point connection to the multiple wireless carriers --The Wireless Carriers: The “pipe” that carries the mobile messages/content (Cingular, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint/Nextel et al.) Yellow arrows represent the actual text or content messages sent and received through the system. Via their cell phones, consumers communicate through the carriers/aggregator to the application provider who processes their communication. The ASP responds back through the aggregator/carriers back to the consumer. The Carrier “Walled Garden” Since the carriers own the wireless “pipe”, in some instances they will control or prohibit the distribution of messages or content to their subscribers that does not originate from them. Some carriers only allow mobile content (ringtones, wallpapers, video, music etc.) to be downloaded through them, and do not allow any third party to directly offer content to their subscribers–hence the “walled garden”.
