re: "Acceptable" Mobile Advertising customs differ a lot between European countries, i.e. some countries (e.g. Scandinavia) tend to accept nature as nature and tend to have a more scientific, biologial, social science driven, pragmatic attitude, while other countries have more religious/dogmatic majority public opinion. Also due to history in Europe, most regions are either predominant catholic or predominant protestant. Some regions of Europe are 50/50. That also has quite an influence. It's very interesting for me to compare this with the public opinion and practice in Japan. These issues do have enormous impact on mobile business, at least in Japan, partner-finding sites and sex-related business is big in the mobile sector although you won't find this in the press announcements of the carriers. quick_thinking
