The ‘fourth channel’ for retailers is mobile

With 3.3 billion mobile-phone subscribers worldwide, compared to only 1.3 billion Internet users, Cisco argues that handsets will soon be the “fourth channel” for retailers, taking their place alongside physical stores, Web sites and catalogues.

In a survey of 45 North American and European retailers, Cisco found 42% already provide the ability to view products on mobile devices.
