Sorry - have been lurking for a while but I did laugh while reading the
digest this morning...  Please note - this is good natured ribbing as I
do know all of the players concerned.

Gerhard - There are people (even non-Japanese) who are happy to part
with a few 100yens a month for great content..  As Andrew said - it pays
for itself in convenience

This is exactly why great mobile content is not put out for free..  it
does take a lot of work and costs a heap of money in licencing fees and
engineering costs.  This is why I don't give out mobile content for
free..  (^.^) 

out of curiousity - what is your objection to paying for content????
