Interesting story at the Register about steps taken by Orange to "protect
customers" which also "protects Orange" against carrying legitimate
messages from which it gains no revenue....

"Orange has decided to take this step to protect its own customers from
'spamming' through overseas carriers. This will also enable Orange to
better manage its network traffic, and ensure it gains revenue for the
service it provides by carrying these messages," it said

I currently get 20 spam a day to my keitai. (It suddenly started about 3/4
weeks ago - very suspicious as a lot of friends report receiving large
quantities dating from the same time. This to non-numeric addresses.)
