Bollywood’s phone problems

Posted on | July 15, 2005 |

Phones are landing Bollywood stars in trouble. This week saw two controversies where phones played an enabling role - the Mallika Sherawat MMS case and the Salman Khan tapes.

ToI talks of how such MMS clips benefit Cellcos and rants about the inadequacy of IT laws in the country. While it may be true that the cellcos like any content that spurs SMS/MMS/Data traffic, I’m sure there are more legal ways to do it. Countries with high mobile penentration should take a cue from South Korea where camera-enabled mobile phones are required to make “camera shutter” sounds, of at least 64 decibels, when a picture is taken.
