With the launch of the iPhone last week, Telephia’s Mobile Video Report is well timed to say the least. The study reminds future and current mobile marketers of the potentials of mobile video, making it the next appealing ad frontier.
Based on Telephia’s 35,000 mobile subscribers and 1200 mobile video users in the US, the study found that mobile video revenues in Q1 2007 increased 198% over the previous year, and that mobile video users had the best ad recall of any mobile data user group.
