p2pnet news view | Mobiles:- “Bell Lets Parents Police Cell Phone Web Browsing.”

That’s the headline to a Here’s How story introducing another form of Bell traffic throttling.

It  goes on »»»

The Parental Control content filtering service, the first for a mobile phone service in Canada, is meant to prevent children from accessing controversial or inappropriate Websites, but I’m sure it’ll be used for much more. Imagine punishments now moving way beyond groundings to “no Facebook on your phone for a month”, or “your Hollywood gossip rights have been revoked until you smarten up!

Bell, meanwhile, never ‘lets’ anyone do anything.

Never.

Bell uses Intelligent Policy Manager (IPM) from Unipier which, boasts the company, will, “empower mobile operators to successfully manage their service portfolio by employing solutions for content offers and bundling, mobile advertising, viral marketing & recommendations, access control, and user privacy.”

Bell will ‘let’ people use the service — for $5 a month.
