My source says Velti, a publicly traded mobile ad company, is working on the first "Do Not Track" list built for mobile. Consumers should be able to direct their smartphone browsers at a specific Do Not Track website, which will build a "fingerprint" for that phone adding it to a list of devices that will be blocked from ad targeting. Velti is working with partners to finalize these plans, but it might announce the Do Not Track feature this week, at the Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona.
