Mobile Games More Valuable Than Porn

Hallelujah, an analyst firm that doesn’t think mobile content will be driven by porn. Informa Telecoms and Media has predicted that the market for mobile content will be worth $42.8 billion by 2010, of which $11.2 billion will be from mobile games, with 15 percent of people downloading and playing a game on their handset by this time.
In contrast, “adult entertainment” will bring in $2.3 billion and gambling will bring in $7.6 billion. The report also predicts that “the mobile music sector – ringtones, ring-back tones, full track downloads and streaming services – will be worth around $11 billion by 2010.”
