I agree kapow, the kids I speak to are accessing pages using their mobiles now. Six months ago they weren't. The price of the sattelite packages for mobile internet access is now within their affordability levels. Not for all of them but definitely for the more affluent.

For the larger companies with piles of cash, their presence in the mobile internet market pays for itself. Just being there is an advert for them. But for the less "corporate" of us, I can't yet see how to monetise a presence on the mobile internet.

For example, if I had a diy site (I don't), I can imagine someone at the diy store wanting to access it to check what size of wood they need to make that shelf or what type of varnish, quantities etc. But I can't see them browsing those pages and then clicking on an ad that might earn me an honest penny.

Any thoughts?
