In-fact, even media portrayal of MMS has it narrowed down to a stereotype of chavs in Northern England.
Stereotypes are irrelevant. Fine for discussions but these are clear numbers. As I quoted, on a world basis, the revenue generated by MMS in 2009 passed the revenue generated by SMS in 2004.

SMS was considered to be big business already in 2004, yes?

In 2010, video calling is not going to be bigger business than MMS. It's not going to be a market driver for selling phones either. But for the ones who owns a phone and knows how to use it, of course it's going to be a load more of fun than sending an MMS.

That doesn't change the fact that it's not yet generating any much money for anyone. And it may not ever do, if everyone get unlimited data subs before video calling takes of.
