I agree there is such a large revenue base because you can be scammed relatively easy into subscribing by phone... it should not be this easy there should be a terms of service or a signup that you have to agree to. It is the phone companies fault in my opinion and there should be options to disable it, especially since younger children are very susceptible to this thing like text ##### to get a free ringtone of your favorite artist then in impossible to read text there is a 9.95 subscription included.
Phone companies won't do that unless if they are forced to do so by law or a governing authority. Each one of them takes a big percentage of the money that is charged to their client. Last time I checked it was around 50%. Why would they throw that away?
