Mobile content is evolving. What was previously expensive and difficult to obtain is now becoming accessible to a large section of the mobile audience. Mobile content has been driven to the mobile audience in a cheaper and more accessible form through sponsorship of mobile advertising. As data speeds and content quality improve demand for affordable mobile content will grow among mobile consumers. Funding the content through mobile advertising allows content providers to drive their content to a wider audience for a fraction of the price, driving up audience numbers and increasing revenue potential.
Advertising funded mobile content will open up new areas of the market for mobile content providers. Mobile subscribers who previously would have been unwilling or unable to pay for mobile content will grow the audience for mobile content, tapping into a new market potential. In reducing the costs to the end user which advertising sponsorship would inevitably do, mobile content would be able to reach previously untapped markets. Mobile subscribers who have, until now, refused to download mobile content due to price and other issues, such as previous bad experience, financial constraints or other negative aspects such as data speeds will be encouraged to use mobile content now that advertising funding can remove many of these detriments.
The quality, quantity and type of mobile content available to the mobile subscriber are also changing, and ad sponsorship will help to drive new content formats into the market. Mobile content that may have had difficulty in entering the market will be driven by ad funding as mobile subscribers become more comfortable in trialling new content for a lower price.
