Get ready to mobilize. Is the mobile web the biggest thing since the desktop web? No, it’s much bigger than that.

These days, it’s common to hear people describe the mobile web as the biggest thing since the desktop web. They’re wrong. It’s much, much bigger than that.

For starters, there are far more mobile devices than PCs (2.8 billion handsets were in circulation by mid-2006). In Europe alone, there are four times more handsets than PCs (in some countries, there are more handsets than people.)

Mobile lets you reach people all across the world, many of whom may never own a PC. It’s not just a western phenomenon, it’s global. Beyond the numbers, the vast potential of the mobile web is also due to the way people think about and usetheir mobile devices:

• They’re always on.
• They’re always at hand.
• They’re always personal, rarely shared.

No other marketing medium can say any of these things, much less all three.

The Mobile Advertising and Usage report analyzes the (finally) accelerating mobile opportunities opening up for both consumers and marketers.

The true turning point for the industry was the introduction of the smartphone, heightened by Apple’s iPhone launch in mid-2007. The development of third-generation (3G) mobile phones led to better connection speeds, Wi-Fi connectivity and the rise of mobile Internet browsing.

Another critical factor was pricing plans that took the mystery out of data usage and encouraged unlimited mobile content consumption.
