Review: Charles makes a good point that virus activity can be tracked within the network, but individual subscribers have already fallen victim to a virus (and possibly paid extra connection costs for inadvertently transmitting the virus on) once that activity has been identified. I think individuals and companies will still need to pay a subscription for regular definition updates and software to protect their mobile devices and data.

Review: Overlooking mobile technology worldwide, it is not difficult to understand why such technology is going faster and faster. Needless to say, the demand of mobile technology turns a lot of great ideas into reality like blue-tooth, wi-fi, PDA phone and so on; however, faster and easiler connectivity of mobile devices is providing a convenient way to someone spreading their virus in certain extent. On the other hand, the threat brings a huge market of anti-virus business in near future to those aggressive anti-virus providers like Trend Micro, McAfee and Yankee.

Review: Interesting report, but also yet another example of a new monthly fee. Monthly fees eat into annual disposable incomes. Technology comes with a high price.

Review: There is also new anti-virus technology emerging that works within mobile eetworks, and doesn't require any software or fees on the phone. See Theta Networks: http://www.thetanetworks.com/mobile_network_security.html
