Another mobile spammer caught red-handed
This sounds similar to the controversy about Jamster/Jamba posting reminder messages via mBlox that actually the consumer had to pay for. I haven't read anything about what actually happened to either mBlox or Jamster, but in that case clearly Jamster was at fault, as they ordered this to happen.
In the current case mTouche has provided its customer database (yikes!!!) to MyGLobalFun that then spammed the consumers with messages they had to pay for. I think this is simply outrageous, and there's clearly need for a discouraging example for other companies to learn from (so they apply humane business ethics). In this case clearly both companies are at fault.
