"I see a larger play in mobile for the automotive industry overall happening more in 2012; we have observed over this past year that

the large car companies are really tagging mobile as an afterthought to their overall Print, TV, Radio, and PC campaigns, they will realize I

believe as we run through the next holiday season that the mobile is as much a stand-alone vertical as is Print, TV, Radio and PC,"
