LA Becoming The Hub of Mobile Content?

Hard to refute it these days, with all the action happening on the mobile entertinament side…and the number of hirings etc in the Los Angeles area…
For instance, consider this evidence as documented by Tapio Antilla, on his occasional newsletter:
“1) Universal Music (Rio Caraeff) is building a mobile music publishing unit for the North American market: hiring need probably 10-15 people.
2) Warner Brothers has hired a number of new people into their mobile unit, the VP Wireless replacement is still missing.
3) Sony Pictures is still looking for a VP Wireless.
4) Disney is building their Disney-branded MVNO out of LA (and another ESPN-branded out of NYC): plenty of hiring taking place right now.
5) Infospace is looking for someone to head up their music bizdev.
6) Mobliss is looking for two business development directors in LA.
7) Nokia just hired their first LA-based bizdev person (George Linardos). It was about time.
8) The new SK-Earthlink joint venture will start hiring soon: my assumption is that the new unit will be based out of LA. According to my friends in Seoul, roughly 20 Korean will be packing their bags soon to move to the US. This will be a sizable operation.”
