Mobile advertising has a history of hype The portal wars may well be over in the wired world but the virgin landscape of the wireless world is still open to prospectors staking a claim. The mobile operators, traditional ISPs and a rash of wireless ISP start-ups are all feverishly eyeing the bookmark page on your WAP phone and dreaming of the millions of dollars the m-commerce market is expected to deliver. The unintuitive nature of current WAP phones mean that first mover advantage is more powerful than ever. ZDnet April 2000

Drivers • Affordable Data Usage • Behaviour...will Consumers start using mobile as an ‘taking action channel’? • Contentproviders to develop/adapt services that make sense for the user • Devices that are multifunctional and measure performance
Creative execution the stark truth ‘Until an advertiser can commission a creative that they know will work for 90+% of end users without hassle then mobile is going to remain a sideshow. Sure you’ve all these fancy solutions that can target handsets etc.... we could easily target ads in “traditional” online advertising to only users on PCs with a screen resolution of 1200x800 running Firefox 2 or above ...... but we don’t have to!’ Donal Kane, Technology Director, ValueClick
