Past the Point of Mobile Return
from the mobile-invasion dept
According to the major 4 mobile telephone companies in the UK, more than 50% of the population currently own a mobile phone. It doesn't seem like this trend is anywhere near stopping, these trends are also occurring across Europe, Asia and with a slight lag in the US. The mobile Internet will be big business in either the current WAP format or with the introduction of 3G phones (seemingly more likely).Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
