Payback on Crazy Frog, round 2
As reported earlier mBlox was fined for charging consumers for advertising via Premium SMS that they hadn't asked for, and if they knew never would have wanted to pay for.
As before: It's Jamba (not mBlox) that set up the promotion and the business model, so even though mBlox has obviously benefited from this revenue-wise, it's Jamba that's to blame and should consequently be fined.
What's peculiar is that this has been apparent to me since the start of the Jamba business, and I've commented on it several times. Clearly ICSTIS doesn't understand the business they are to control considering they are fining mBlox and not Jamba.
