Is Mobile The Future Of Advertising For Emerging Markets?

Consider this: mobile penetration in India is around 71%, compared to internet penetration of just 8%.

What this means is that Mobile handsets and services are revolutionizing the way Indians get connected to the internet.

And if you consider the fact that mobile advertising spend in India is a mere $35.4 million compared to $5.3 billion spend on traditional advertising, you can understand that the growth potential for mobile advertising in India is immense. And the picture is more or less the same in other emerging markets.
