New Technology Making Waves: MMS

SUMMARY

At the time of writing, Multimedia Messaging Service, was a new technology that allowed cell phone users to send text, sound, pictures, and videos. "No doubt you've seen advertisements of MMS-capable phones, some of which are called camera phones." Because the technology is so new, SID is not yet able to collect SIGINT from MMS. But not for long. They're taking steps to build automated systems to spy on MMS.
