Jonathon Sacks, Mforma’s new COO, has done an interview on mobile content and where he sees the market heading. Selected quotes:
“Two things differentiate mobile. First off, it is straight-on a consumer business. The second is there’s a revenue model, which there wasn’t on the Internet.”
“The trick with running a media company with a worldwide footprint is that you have to understand that you can do different things. You don’t want every (new service) to take nine months to deploy, but you don’t want every new thing to be something you built in a day.”
“When asked if he similarities among mobile platforms, the Internet, and print, he said that one shouldn’t be concerned about the delivery vehicle but “think of consumer need. Consumers need information, need and want to be entertained, need directions, need something to do when they’re standing in line waiting for airline tickets. When you look at consumers through this prism, the business of delviering content on content on mobile phone is no different (from any other).”
