Top U.K. Wireless Carriers Issue Code for Protecting Children
Paris -- The top 6 mobile phone companies in the U.K. have published a new code of conduct designed to stop children from accessing pornography and gambling services on their mobile handsets. Orange, 3, T-Mobile, O2, Vodafone and Virgin Mobile agreed that an independent content board -- the ICSTIS (Independent Committee for the Supervision of Standards of Telephone Information Services) -- would set guidelines determining what is suitable for children younger than 18 years of age. The group also promised to prevent children from accessing any adult content offered by commercial partners or the companies themselves.
