Comments on: 20 billion and counting! http://blog.admob.com/2008/03/25/20-billion-and-counting/ The official AdMob Weblog Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:32:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Dean http://blog.admob.com/2008/03/25/20-billion-and-counting/comment-page-1/#comment-2533 Dean Fri, 09 May 2008 05:14:31 +0000 http://blog.admob.com/2008/03/25/20-billion-and-counting/#comment-2533 Worddial has been supporter of Admob since 2005, being one of the few mobile publishers around the world at the time, we added our first great mobile sites link. We have followed Admob right through until today, and watching as their new initiatives are growing our revenues as they said the would, well done. However we recently saw two carrier inititives over the past 12 months, one on Vodafone UK, where they steal the HTTP header and trans code or adapt the mobile site back to a website, through a technology service provider called "Novarra", and just 3 days ago saw how carriers are trying to effect existing mobile site services by changing the acceptance code their network provide which allows mobile portals to be viewed on their handsets. In both cases, is the carrier trying to control the user and hijack or create disfunction for the mobile user experience and destroy publishers connection with the user.
