Researching impact of mobile phones

It is not the first time someone looks at the impact of mobile phones on our lifes, and it won't be the last one. But it is the first time, that someone is actually establishing an institute to degain a better understanding, and that is great. NTT DoCoMo, the leader of mobile communication in Japan, and a major innovator in the industry, is just doing this, as has been reported.

Okay, they are not stating the funds the institute is receiving, and who is employed in it. But at lesat they are saying that the institute is independent from DoCoMo's business.

The objective of the institute is to gain an understanding of the upsides of mobile phones and its downsides. And to identify ways to increase the upsides and to limit the downsides. If it is successful, may be I will never get any spam send to my mobile? And they will identify ways that a mobile phone will be a real and true experience? And the institute will show me ways to limit the impact of those whose mobile rings, while they are in the cinemas, or elsewhere, where a handphone is just troublesome? If this is happening, it would be great!
