Factoids from White City

A small titbit from a couple of different sources which should convince all publishers of the coming of the mobile internet.


The BBC - for whom I have a lot of admiration, continually pushing the envelope and investing in forthcoming technologies - has divulged a couple of interesting facts from the White City fortress.


Fact One: the BBC estimates that 20% of its total new media unique users access their content from mobile only and no other source.


Fact Two: forecast charts within the BBC with a three year time horizon are showing total page impressions from the mobile internet surpassing that of the fixed internet.


I find both a little mind boggling but incredibly illuminating. Reflecting on them confirms the fact that mobile is becoming an incredibly powerful mass media.
