MMS is sort-of solving a 10 year old problem - and it's a 10 or so year old telco answer to the problem of "how do we extract money from customers and lock them in?". It's on the way out, too, being supplanted by email. There's a lot of die-hard MMS users in Europe though, and it's quite common to be sent MMS pictures by people who aren't particularly computer literate and just want to send you a picture. Say, if you're calling up for a car for sale on the other side of the country. Personally, I wouldn't deploy anything new on MMS.
