All these companies were previously making their money on pornography on mobile phones and now that is illegal as it should be in PRC and elsewhere in the world.

First, let's be clear that it isn't just "Foreign Companies Running Blindly" into a market where they expect WAP services to be billed. China's own indigenous companies expect the same - as you can find in the same press releases from Kong and Sina that you reference. The simple point is that currently mobile internet has lost the major billing channels that are in place due to government restrictions which all players are expecting to be restored in the short term. If mobile billing either through WAP or SMS is not restored, then ALL players in China will have to find other alternatives not just the foreigners.

Foreign companies are not idiotic like you are making them out to be! Are you shorting their stocks?
