NOW HEAR THIS - CORRECTION ALERT

For the attention of every reader. I posted a note the other day saying that the MobileYouth 2006 report had been released by Portio Research. I did a 3 line summary and linked to the Portio site for anyone interested in more information or ordering.

I did so because I had a note in from Karl at Portio letting me know. I’m happy to oblige.

Turns out that the MobileYouth report is authored by Wireless World Forum and only distributed by Portio. Heathens!

Josh Dhaliwal of Wireless World Forum took issue with this inaccuracy by posting this comment to the bottom of the article in question:

Please amend the above story and link.

Portio Research has not released the MobileYouth 2006 report. The report is written, published and copyrighted by Wireless World Forum. Portio Research is a distribution partner and the above article wrongly implies that Portio Research is responsible for writing this report.

The true link for this report is [over at the Wireless World Forum’s site]

Consider yourselves, as I do, correctly informed.

Josh, on the basis that I was promoting your research on behalf of your distributor, I reckon the best way to deal with this would have been to write me an email and ask me to make the modification — or, even better, just leave it and not bother commenting. One imagines Wireless World Forum benefits from Portio’s sales either way. I doubt many readers were confused as to the ownership and copyright of the report, however, I’ve obviously removed the article in question.

To any blogging colleagues reading, be careful of the accuracy of any Wireless World Forum references that you care to make, lest you have Mr D calling on you.

To all, rest assured that I’ll do my level best never to knowingly mention or discuss any reference whatsoever to Wireless World Forum in the future.
