Online Ad Networks: Monetizing the Long Tail
Online advertising networks have emerged as an essential vehicle for monetizing the Long Tail of the Internet. By aggregating traffic that was previously too difficult to buy or which was otherwise undesirable, ad networks provide small and mid-sized online publishers with significantly more advertising revenues than would otherwise be possible. And by finding ways to make this inventory more palatable to more advertisers, ad networks are positioned to grow faster than the broader market. Oppurtunities and the Challenges: Enterprises and the Wireless Intranet
Increasingly, the world's enterprises are facing a new technology challenge nearly as great as that of the Internet itself: the wireless intranet. Today, intelligent cell phones, pagers, palmtops, PDAs and other mobile devices are fast becoming popular for accessing the Internet. For the intranets that connect many enterprises to their employees, suppliers and customers, the opportunities and challenges of mobile devices are more subtle— but no less important.
