KANSAS CITY, Mo. _ If you thought drivers with cellphones were hazards before ...

The adult entertainment industry, which has netted billions of dollars through Internet pornography and gambling, is about to take on the wireless phone market.

VTX Inc., a Las Vegas company specializing in adult mobile content, is planning to launch a TV-like adult service for wireless phones as early as next week. The company said it initially would broadcast three X-rated channels to Internet-ready wireless phones offering both video and audio.

The service, called XTCMobile, will be broadcast at six or seven frames per second _ faster than a slideshow, but substantially slower than traditional TV broadcasts.

VTX, which has been running its own adult entertainment service for wireless phones for 16 months, is in the process of purchasing XTCMobile from its developer, Mobile Media Systems (MMS), another Nevada-based company.

MMS tested the service at slower speeds in January and February, offering X-rated video to beta testers on the Sprint PCS network.
