Michael Scully, Market Director at 2ergo Americas, says "... the number of overall mobile subscribers accessing the mobile web continues to increase at a rapid pace... one of the most popular categories is news... "
Scully continued "... many newspapers and consumer publications chose to launch a smartphone application before a mobile site, despite the fact that the mobile web has the potential to reach a wider audience at a lower cost..."
