The Mobile Internet Report, Morgan Stanley, Dec 2009

Page 3: Roadshow asia buzz city

Companies are spending up to 12% to 13% on digital

[advertising]. We know we spend up to 20% of our

time online, so in theory spending should be up at

20%. It’s just natural conservatism, resistance to

change and inability to adapt to change. I believe

when digital budgets get to 20%, which will be in four

or five years, we will be spending 30% of our time

online.

-- Sir Martin Sorrell, CEO of WPP Group

Monetization on Social Media

U$10M in Q4 running games like Sorority Life on

Facebook & mySpace.

2. QQ in China has revenue exceeding U$1B, more than

60% from virtual items

3. Most follow the free-mium model and spread through

feeds.

4. Advertising: one multi-player game forces losers to wait

and watch video ads until the rest of the players lose as

well.
