Gridley’s Mobile Industry Roadmap
April 2012
Toward Ubiquity in a Consumer Inspired Mobile World
2
OverviewMobile finally arrived in 2011 because smartphone penetration increased dramatically and reached 48% at the end of the year. High smartphone penetration has been the critical element needed to transform the mobile ecosystem. High smartphone penetration was necessary for mobile to really take off because smartphones offer consumers a fundamentally different experience that includes true 24/7 convenience, hyper-local and targeted applications, and significantly enhanced connected functionality.
One important thing to note is that consumers, not businesses, have been leading the charge. This is the first time in history that a major technological shift has been led by the consumer, and its advent has several major implications. Consumers are now roughly 18 months ahead of businesses. As businesses begin to catch-up with consumers, we expect to see notable growth in several key areas including mobile advertising and point of sale applications. Other notable trends we saw in 2011 include:
• Mobile advertising really took off in 2011 due to increasing smartphone penetration, mobile Web use and related increases in ad inventory. Mobile advertising is now recognized as an opportunity for brands to engage consumers in a targeted manner, thereby improving returns;
• Smartphones are changing consumer shopping behavior and the in-store consumer experience because mobile phones are offering more pricing transparency, greater convenience, and product information. As of 3Q 2011, 49% of mobile consumers said they frequently used their smartphones while shopping;
• The ability to pinpoint a shopper’s location and engage real-time on a mobile device provides vast opportunities for retailers to convert shoppers;
• Large technology companies such as Google, Verizon, Apple, and eBay are trying to build integrated payment and marketing systems and will be a real threat to traditional payment and marketing leaders;
• The growing popularity of smartphones has led to a dramatic rise in mobile video. While 23 million mobile subscribers viewed video on their phones in 2010, 31 million used mobile video in 3Q2011, a 35% increase; and
• Social networking is becoming increasing popular on mobile devices and accelerating the growth of mobile. Android and iPhone users spend more time on Facebook than any other mobile application.

OverviewWhile 2011 was a banner year for mobile, the rate of change will continue to accelerate in 2012. Falling hardware prices will continue to make smartphones and related applications more accessible to more people. By the end of 2012, over 60% of mobile phones will be smartphones. Mobile’s inherently geo-local uses should also foster the creation of a whole host of innovative new applications, and the media and commerce landscapes will continue to undergo profound changes.
Gridley's Mobile Industry Roadmap is a brief 10 page report focused on four major areas we think will offer the best near term opportunities: content, marketing and advertising services, m-commerce / services, and payments. The four areas have been chosen for different reasons, but all four have shown promise and we expect all will continue to drive value for the consumer.
We hope you enjoy this mobile roadmap and our perspectives. Please give us a call to discuss the content of this presentation.
