The meeting came just weeks after the FTC lodged its first mobile cramming case, accusing a Georgia-based company, Wise Media, of bilking consumers out of millions of dollars for text messages with horoscopes, flirting tips and other information.
Labor attorney Alsher says that while any images of you or your behavior are your responsibility online, a wise employer will look at incidences of indiscretion surfacing on a case-by-case basis.
In any case, when the invitation comes for working on the next DSM, it would be wise -- as for any significant remodeling project -- to double the estimate for time to completion.
The wireless industry says the Wise Media case isn't the norm and mobile carriers are closely vetting third-party vendors who offer services for ringtones and other products and then have charges placed on consumers' mobile bills.
