Thanks and sorry my mobile bias does shine thru a bit. However, purely in the interest of debate, especially with someone with a mind I respect. I have a few thoughts.

The Mobile Internet has already taken an extreme chunk out of the PC Internet. The Mobile Internet & Devices are cheaper which is why you see 27 new Countries on the map and the technology isn't grid-locked in patents, allowing the technology to grow/expand & get faster, quicker than PC technology can.

I think there are way to many other forces at work on the PC internet besides just mobile to equate the drop in PC sales directly to mobile devices. I believe it would be a rarity for someone with dollars to spend on porn to chose a mobile purchase over a PC purchase if a PC was readily available. The exception would be text based services.
Of course the problem with the PC is you just don't need to pay to see all the good stuff, lol.
In regards to the countries that are choosing smartphones over PCs. Those countries choose a cheaper device for a reason, they have less disposable income. Mobile products in these countries need to be priced very low and in most cases too low to allow for the revenue to be sliced and diced the way it currently is and find it's way to the products owner in significant amount. Of the countries mentioned how many are a flat out wash to even enter with a decent product of any kind?

P.S. 3D plays on mobile devices.
|
True, but that will eventually be an expected feature of video on all devices across the board. I believe when you talk the potential of 3D the users best experience will be in front of the largest screen possible. The real money here is in convergence technology over PC or mobile.
A fact to note; everybody arguing this fact of mine is jaded pro-mobile in the same way I am anti-mobile so there a grain of salt in in order from both sides. I would love to see a response from an affiliate who pushing
multiple products and an idea of real numbers after any promotional expenses. I say this not as a skeptic, but purely someone who is curious.
Lastly, while my opinion is tainted, I really don't want to come across as anti-mobile or anti-topbucks. I just wanted to start a nice long thread today so people see how god damn brilliant I am and decide to push what must be the incredible company I run, lol.
All the best, great response Chris
