Some recent nuggets from mBlox's Andrew Bud...

2009 could be a pivotal year for rich mobile content, but for this to happen, consumers need a transparent pricing mechanism to purchase rich content. Content providers need to be sure that their consumers are treated fairly

Mmm, how about consumers getting to choose whether they want 'rich' content in the first place?  Some of us don't want any so-called 'premium' content that we've not asked for.  Why not concern yourselves with that first, eh, Bud?

Ultimately we believe the price consumers see should be the price they pay. The current system of data pricing is severely restricting the growth of the mobile content market as consumers fear facing frightening bills.

Yes Andrew, we consumers do fear frightening bills caused by companies such as yours teaming up with both naughty scam artists and more 'legit' companies that think they can bend the rules.

Word of advice - get your own ship in order before babbling on about fairness and transparency elsewhere.
