Bishop shocked by mobile porn considering cancelling Telus contract
Also from The Toronto Star, I came across this one about a very unhappy Bishop…

The Roman Catholic archbishop of Vancouver is considering cancelling contracts with Telus after the phone company began making pornography available through its cellphones.
Canada’s second largest phone company now offers pornographic photos and videos to its customers and confirms it has been receiving complaints from upset customers.
Telus introduced the service in January. In doing so, it became the first wireless provider in the country to offer pornographic photos and videos at $3-4 each.
They presumably don’t sell any kind of pornography at the local newsagents in Canada. I wonder if the Bishop will actually cancel his Telus contracts? Surely almost every mobile operator is offering some kind of adult services from their portals?
