CSTIS celebrate 20 years of service

.. by releasing what could be possibly the worlds most wasteful PDF.

So comments ‘A’ in a recent email. (A is a leading industry player so I have kept the identity anonymous.)

‘A’ continues:

15.62 megabytes of data for a whole 17 pages. That’s give or take about a meg a page. Or to put it another way, about £45 to download on your mobile at £3/meg.

It’s at http://www.icstis.org.uk/pdfs_news/20anniversary.pdf if anyone on SMS Text News fancies a read (and a few cups of coffee while you’re waiting for it to download)

There’s some irony in there somewhere – and possibly a joke – that the regulator that battles so hard on the side of the consumer to stop shockingly high mobile bills being racked up via premium SMS are
inviting you to get a shockingly high mobile bill by downloading their 17 page anniversary publication.

Oh the fun of this industry..
