Aussie company enables parents to control their kids' mobile content usage.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports that Leopard Labs' software will give parents remote control of the SMS, MMS, web browsing and content usage of their offspring.
Mozone, which the company will launch in November, consists of software downloaded into a handset that can be accessed and controlled by parents via a desktop web interface.
Meg Dennis, co-founder of Leopard Labs, said mozone would "help keep phone bills in check, prevent cyber bullying and ensure children were not exposed to adult content."
Though Leopard Labs is initially launching the product on a direct-to-consumer basis, the SMH says it's also in discussion with potential operator customers.
Pricing has not yet been announced.
