Mobile content market worth 45B Euro by 2009
A new report from Juniper Research indicates gambling and gaming will be the main businesses for content in the future. Considering ringtones is dominating today this is a bold statement.
On the gambling side it sounds like they have the highest hopes for lotteries, but also betting and casinos will be important.
Broken down (for 2009):
- Gambling: 33%
- Games: 31%
- Music: 16%
- Sports: 8%
- Ringtones: 8%
- Adult: 4%
Yet I don't believe there will be any difference between music and ringtones by 2009, at least from a technical standpoint. Adult content got a surprisingly low rating.
