Mobile Advertising's Gold Rush
November 16, 2009
Mobile Advertising Set To Soar | www.mediapost.com
Mobile advertising is definitely the new-new thing, but it sounds like the hype we heard when the Web was born as a graphical interface and banner ads started appearing in 1995.

Competition for TWC has been pent up for years; having it owned by one of the four major TV networks is bound to unleash competition that it will be unable to compete with.
