Far and away the top three problems facing wireless operators and Application Service Providers (ASPs) today are integration, integration and integration. Their worst fear is mucking up their service to customers in any way. How do you integrate new data services into a legacy system without compromising its stability and security? In this article I'm introducing a new solution that can prevent rogue application behaviour, such as uncontrolled SMS or MMS blasts or over-consumption of resources leading to an interruption in service.

Doesn't MIDP allready address many of these concerns?
I think that the author is talking about a system for managing the resources on the phone networks operators servers rather than on the handset itself.
The article is related to server-side applications, using programming languages such as Java/JSP or PHP. Here the application sandbox enforces resource/bandwidth and functionality restrictions.
MIDP however is related to client-side applications, which run on the mobile device. That is a different application realm.
