Rich Internet Applications and mobile entertainment
Yesterday Peter Chernin of News Corp praised the economic and business virtues of growing the consumption of entertainment on mobile devices. We have known for quite some time that the "mobile world" was going to be hot. In Asia, it has been for a long time and people maintain a very personal attachment to their phones. However here in the United States, things haven't been as good for mobile content providers. Despite the overwhelming number of mobile devices out in the USA, only 4% of them watch mobile TV on their handsets. As the article linked above notes, a small increase in that number would mean a huge growth in revenue.
