Goin' Mobile

Five of the 10 bestsellers in Japan last year were novels written and read on mobile phones. Why Japan?
The boom appeared to have been fueled by a development having nothing to do with culture or novels but by cellphone companies’ decision to offer unlimited transmission of packet data, like text-messaging, as part of flat monthly rates.

That's all. Just a simple realization that putting a toll booth on usage will hamper use, and allowing unrestricted access will foster innovation. The possibilities for innovation are endless.
