Text message spam to get worse. Much worse.

text messaging

It might not be much of a problem here yet, but text message spam is going to get worse. You might have yet to receive your first piece of text message spam to your cellphone (we've only received two or three so far), but in South Korea they've already reached the point where 10% of all messages received are spam. It's way too easy send text message spam (you don't even need a phone, you can blast them out from a PC) and they're harder to filter (just try installing a spam filter for text messages on your two-year-old phone!).
