The Young And The Mobile
Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation (all of the Fox properties, TV Guide, just about every newspaper, etc) has launched a cell phone-based soap opera. A phone-only version of The Simpson’s is supposedly in the works, as are game shows, video on demand services and lots of other ways to separate you from your money.
