Buzz, Yahoo target 4 Billion Mobile Users

2008-04-06 11:04:58 - "If you look at forecasts by 2010, there are going to be four times as many people around the world with a mobile device than there are with a PC-that's four billion people,"

Taggart the senior director of product marketing for Yahoo! (NASDAQ:YHOO) Mobile said. "Everybody agrees that some point in time, more users will access the Internet on a phone than compared with a PC.

If you look at current conditions today, however, it's lopsided on a 10 to 1 basis-most people are still accessing the Internet on a PC instead of on the phone. What's it going to take to tip the opportunity so that we really begin to realize the full potential of the mobile Internet?" Buzz (OTC:BZTG) say ease of use, Sean Lee the company's CEO has Buzz mobi.12buzz.com on a path to deliver Email, Web Search and Entertainment to all Mobiles, "people already know what they want to do on the internet, they have shown us from their PC use, we just have to make that available on the mobile in a way that reflects the PC experience"
