Commercial Mobile WAP sites: well known brands venturing in the mobile world
Mobile websites have been in place for some time now, but with the mobile advertising hype that has been on for the past year or two, I am realizing that the Internet which was once in a league of its own, is being contested fiercely by the Mobile Phone.
Whether its a promotion for a certain product or just for mobile Internet presence purposes, Companies having been shifting to the mobile medium for answers to the lost million of dollars being lost in other cluttered Media forms let it be above the line Media such as press, radio, and TV or below the line such as Outdoor banners and handouts.
Due to its target ability and profiling features , Mobile is well placed to become the next Internet in 5-7 years time.
