your PC Website with a mobile device...
doesn’t mean it is a pleasant or fulfilling
experience.” - MobileThinking.com

13. “By 2016, application-to-person (A2P) messaging will
overtake person-to-person (texting) messaging, being
worth more than US $70 billion.” - Juniper Research
“By the end of 2011, there will be
over one billion mobile broadband
users in the world. Over 60% of
North America will have mobile
broadband access before the
year is out. Now is the time for
brands to fully embrace mobile
marketing, or they risk becoming
obsolete.
Mobile isn’t coming. It’s here.”
