A Starmap with no point

Does anyone else see the irony in the last three words of this Techdirt story…?

Starmap Mobile Alliance Offers Inter-Carrier Data Services

Starmap, [a carrier alliance] including mmO2, Wind, Amena, One, Sunrise, Telenor Mobile and Pannon GSM, offers flat rate roaming rates and interoperable picture messaging [my emphasis].

Oh Lordy Lord, please don’t make we wait any longer for carriers to agree what services I can use. Give me packet data or give me darkness.

Carriers love anything which can be forced kicking and screeming through their SMSC because they can bill for it.

Thankfully the end is nigh! The horseman of the telepocalypse cometh!
