LG and SanDisk Work Together on Content Protection Scheme
Jan 14, 2009, 8:46 AM by Eric M. Zeman
LG and SanDisk have created a new content protection service that will allow mobile network operators to disseminate or preload content onto removable memory cards — such as microSD or M2 — in mobile phones. The content could not, however, be played in phones and/or devices that are not part of the the operator's network. In other words, if content is pushed from T-Mobile, it could be used on other T-Mobile phones, but not phones from AT&T. It works by allowing IP connectivity to the memory card in the handset. The memory card serves as a network node that is remotely manageable by the operator using industry-standard TCP/IP and OMA Smart Card Web Server. This service enables memory cards to authenticate user credentials via data on the SIM card. No network operators have said they will use or deploy this technology.

In a perfect world
It would also have GPS on 24/7 so they could tell if anyone was up past curfew.. The government and AT&T has their hands in everyone's pocket and phone, and both.
