It is pretty cool. I guess it remains to be seen if advertisers or sponsors will subsidize the delivery. Message charges are included in my plan, so it's no skin off my hide. If the carriers lower their costs it surely will take off. If the content is compelling, somebody will pay for it. Also, that could be a lot of good will for a news organization, right? It could drive people back to WAP and websites, maybe buy the paper. By the way, I think that fastbreak is an email gateway. I dunno. It is pretty cool.

MMS is now rated the same as an SMS on all tier 1 carriers and is actually bundled into the same plan as 'messages'. What rock you are living under Kimbo? 2) .25p per MMS is alot and surely cannot be supported by ad's (or even premium SMS). When the operators lower their rates hopefully you will be in a position to be successful with your RSS/MMS service as well. The competition should be based on who has the best value to the end user, the best content and the best device adaptation. 1) 50 cents per mms?

We've had this functionality in our LiveConductor product for a couple of years but uptake is limited by the high cost imposed by the operators - meaning that publishers need to come up with a business model for what should be a simple add-on to a site. The operators are the only ones seeing at gold at the moment! In the UK it’s the publisher who pays, also at a rate of about 25p per MMS.

It costs 50c per mms on most united states operators. Most unlimited packages are 7 to 10 bucks extra per month. Why bother!?! Are you on crack!?!

Mass-transit commuters don't have an iPhone yet, but would love spending that 1 hour ride reading anything. This is an awesome idea.
