Thanks to the growing acceptance of streamed video and video chat services, every pervert will be delighted to know that the mobile adult services worldwide is projected to reach $3.5 billion by 2010.
According to Juniper Research, Western Europe will remain the largest regional market for mobile adult services throughout the period covered with revenues increasing from $775m in 2007 to $1.5 billion by 2012.
This service is profitable because most users are not price sensitive. However, Juniper warns adult content providers not to overprice content.
In the U.S. and Canada, most mobile operators are somewhat hesitant to offer adult content and age-verification systems. On other hand, strong censorship policies in China and South Korea hinder the growth in the Asian markets.
"While in most forms of mobile entertainment, the brand is king. That truism does not apply in mobile adult content. The most popular genre amongst consumers is graphic, amateur content. If operators truly wish to maximize their revenues from adult content, then they should provide consumers with a mix of genres, in which white-label content is given equal prominence to that of major brands," said author Dr. Windsor Holden, in a press release.

As a mobile entertainment analyst (top 500 fortune company), I follow the trends and technology of this 'wild west' mobile marketplace. The mobile porn industry is definitely on my radar, and in my own research have found it thriving in the USA. Surprisingly, there are very successful companies with huge USA consumer bases, for example, 739.com. 739.com, http://739.com
as an example, simply uses the "off deck" approach to provide adult entertainment to mobile devices worldwide, including the USA. They are simply bypassing the mobile carriers in order to avoid the "walled garden", or monopoly, these mobile carriers (Verizon, Sprint, etc...) have with our mobile devices -- especially in the United States. Europe is mainstream with mobile porn, largely because of the mobile billing options, including SMS, that are readily available. The majority of mobile porn companies that are pushing the North American market use credit cards as the main billing mechanism.

Is it good to encourage these type of practice? I feel that adult mobile content will spoil the young generation.

Nice, but I am still wondering why the operators are not getting even more faster into this new business?

This site (web and wap) has, apparently, been selling mobile porn content and services all around the globe, including US. So, it appears as though even if the mobile operators maintain their "walled garden", there will always be legitimate workarounds. If there is a demand for something, there always seems to be a way to deliver - especially it seems with porn...
