China to hasten telecom regulation

China to hasten telecom regulation

Taking away anonymity as a way to curb SPAM? An interesting approach but this assumes that much of the SPAM is being sent by people who are buying SIM cards and sending messages from regular phones.

I have some trouble believing that this is the true source of high volume SPAM due to the cost factor of P2P (Person to Person) messages. Bulk SMS delivery rates are substantially lower because of the volume.

It will be interesting to watch the legislative process and to see if there is truly any measurable impact on the amount of SMS Spam as a result of the legislation.

What I will say is that this legislation is at least as good as the CAN-SPAM act which was largely gutted by big brands and marketers away from it's original goal of reducing SPAM to the current effect of identifying the legal requirements that you must adhere to so that you "can SPAM" legally.

A few words about why we're here

Since consumers first started to use SMS marketers have had the idea of text message marekting or marketing sms - also known as mobile marketing. And since that time marketing sms messages have grown and changed and new technology like bluetooth marketing, marketing bluetooth style to phones in close proximity to an advertisers.

And since the e-mail spam scourge took over the media, people have worried that there will be mobile phone spam. Spam is just another way of saying that advertisers send unsolicited text message marketing, marketing sms, bluetooth marketing or any other form of mobile marketing - it's mobile phone spam. There are even guides on how to spam phone s.

Consumer Preference is about permission based marketing, permission marketing solution. If, as an advertiser you can execute permission based marketing campaigns then you can certainly find ways to benefit from mobile marketing. And permission starts with understanding the consumer marketing preference. If you can understand consumer marketing preference, then you can execute permission based marketing. And permission marketing is not mobile phone spam.

There are many mobile marketing company listings that can be found on the Internet - and most mobile marketing company websites will tell you how they focus on permission marketing. Make sure that the one you partner with does more than tell you about it on the website. Opt-in marketing starts with your traditional marketing soliciting for permission.

Yes - Mobile marketing starts with traditional marketing - print, web, radio, television - all of the old standards. Because before you can send the first message to a consumer, you must obtain their permission... and that means that you understand consumer marketing prefernce.
