Mobileweb Ahead of PC in Next Decade

Geraldine Wilson (Yahoo Europe vice president of connected life) predicted that in the decade ahead, more consumers will log onto the Internet via mobile than on PC.

"In emerging markets, most people's first contact with the Internet will be with a mobile phone," Wilson said. "We have to be careful because there have been many false dawns of Internet on the mobile … but I think we will look back at 2007 as when things started to happen."

Wilson acknowledged challenges like mobile data service pricing, handset interfaces and network speeds. In 2008, Yahoo will also focus its efforts on further personalizing the user experience by adding more local content to their mobile search listings.
