Mobile Apps will soon get its own ratings system

The CTIA and ESRB announced that they will be introducing a ratings systems for mobile apps and this will be revealed near the end of the month.

We will learn more about what this entails when the ratings system is unveiled Nov. 29 but it will be interesting to see what this will require. For those who do not know, the ESRB is the group which provides the ratings systems for video games and software. This ratings system, along with the one for the movies, is self-policing and is aimed at not letting the government nose itself in the industry.

Seeing as there will be a few politicians speaking at this event, I am guessing this move to rate apps has similar motivations.
