W e believe that the increasing number of competitors in the general search market is one of the key drivers (along
with the transition to mobile computing that gained significant momentum with the advent of the iPhone) behind the
move to mobile advertising amongst the heavyweights in the industry. Evidence of a move to mobile can be seen in
the acquisitions of AdMob (by Google) and Quattro W ireless (by Apple), the release of Google’s Android mobile
operating system and associated device line-up, and the prevalence of the App Store distribution model made popular
by Apple.
