Call it porn on the run. At a conference last month in Amsterdam, home of Europe's most renowned red-light districts, executives from Vodafone (VOD), Orange, mmO2 (OOM) and Virgin Mobile, among others mingled with sex-shop owners and pornographers. It was all about a growing trend of using new video capabilities on cell phones to make money from porn. The mainstream companies wanted to explore how cash in, while remaining good corporate citizens and fencing off the content from young people, the International Herald Tribune reports. Gartner, an industry research company, estimates that sexual content over mobile phones will generate $1.5 billion in revenue in Western Europe next year, or about 5.1 percent of the total market for mobile data.
