Link: Mobile User-Generated Content Revenues to Rise Tenfold by 2012
Social networking services will dominate a burgeoning market for mobile user-generated content, according to a new report from Juniper Research. Globally, end-user generated revenues from social networking, dating and personal content delivery services will increase from US$572 million in 2007 to more than US$5.7 billion in 2012, with social networking accounting for 50% of the total by the end of the forecast period.
According to report author Dr Windsor Holden, “Even though social networking sites are in their infancy, the exponential growth experienced by a number of mobile service providers - in some cases achieved primarily through viral marketing - would seem to affirm that there is huge potential in this area. The key challenge now is for those providers to monetise that interest.”
With the market saying 'no' to Nokia's Ovi Store, what do you think can be done to change this?
