Cellphone Frenzy: Making Money With Mobile Applications (Fortune Hunters)

CBC
Canadians send over 45 million text messages every day — a stat that has cellphone companies “LOL-ing” all the way to the bank. And even in 2009’s murky economy, it looks like the mobile market is still one worth dialing into. Cellphones are a $3.8 trillion dollar worldwide industry, with Canadian market accounting for a $38 billion dollar chunk of that pie. Even when times are tight, Canadians still feel the need to be connected and just aren’t willing to do without their BlackBerries.
Excellent discussion starters for Marketing, Entrepreneurship and for finding sources of venture capital.
