In a report from November 23, 2001, BBC technology reporter Rory
Cellan-Jones discussed the rise of mobile phone texting in Britain, with
users sending a billion texts monthly.
Despite its popularity, mobile phone sales were declining, leading
manufacturers to innovate. They hoped new phones with picture-taking and
sending capabilities would revive the market.
The report questioned whether this “picture-texting” could surpass the
success of traditional text messaging
