An odd study that doesn't quite<\/i> come out and say that people are "stealing" from mobile carriers by using social networking \/ IM systems for messaging rather than SMS text … but that notes that mobile systems aren't getting as much money as they might all those people using Google Chat or other IM system were texting instead.<\/p>\n

Um … so? It's just going into the data charges (at the appropriately trivial actual expense) rather than into the texting charges (which can cost exorbitant amounts).<\/p>\n

What do you think ?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
