Cell porn by the numbers.
 

205 million U.S. mobile phone users.
16 million video phones to be sold in 2006.
11.3 million video ipods to be sold in 2006.
1% of them now pay for video.
5% expected to pay by 2010.
10% of consumers are interested in getting porn on phones.

Still considered in its infancy in the U.S., most are waiting for wireless networks to get faster.

...and 90% of them are from GFY..

Umm gfy doesnt have those numbers :winkwink:

I'm still having trouble understanding those that want to look at porn on their phone for anything more than novelty purpose. And if I can't understand a potential client, then I can't sell to them :Oh crap

I do not get it either. Yet the Source companies decided it was an important enough question and stat for mobile video.

I have a personal theory that it's related to mass transit. In Europe and Japan (cell phone heaven) most commuters spend time on trains to get to work. In the US everyone is still busy driving themselves around, so they have less idle time with their phones.

Im not an expert, but I do spend a fair amount of time reading articles and seeing what kind of services are offered. I dont know how it runs in other countries, but the networks take such a large chunk of every revenue transaction and then theres taxes. Also, its not very open to start up like the internet - so im thinking the development will be still be slowwwww unless the landscape changes.

oh come on! seriously?

Why do you think I added in sources.

10% admit to it, I'd bet the number who would pay for porn on their phones is considerably higher. Phone goes into your pocket, it goes anywhere. You can't just stuff a Hustler or DVD in your back pocket.
