any SUCCESSFUL communications technology, surely?
Well before that, the French had the minitel... France Telecom was a long time ashamed to admit that the success of the service was entirely due to adult services.

It has always been the case why:
The content is readily available or very quick to produce (no need to write a thesis first)
The content is appalling to many customers

There is only one other area that has nearly the same qualities: "VIOLENCE"

Unfortunately due to the good moral: "depressing moments" we tend now to sell to our kids violence oriented games... no wonder that many people in the world want to whack Irak. (I'm not neccessarily against whacking irak, I just said it is crasy to think it will be easy and without great pains).

Cheers.
