We’re not saying anything here that no one else has said. In fact, this post is simply our amalgamation of a few recently released reports and articles by Equation Research, The Nielsen Company, and other sources. Original or not, we still think it’s helpful for our partners to have easy access to this information for their own mobile endeavors.
No doubt about it, mobile apps are cool. They take advantage of the iPhone’s elegant user interface, and they can be well-integrated into other device features such as GPS and maps. However, as mobile bandwidth improves and smartphone ownership increases dramatically, the ultimate mobile application is the mobile Internet.

The art of communicating to consumers in the commercial property sphere takes a new turn this week with the deployment of an instant messaging device, despite some in the sector saying the technology shift has yet to seep into the commercial world.

As the leading technology provider for mobile solutions in the industry, we spent some time with Joe to contribute our thoughts on the subject.

How the Mobile Ready Platform enables mobile marketers to execute campaigns that are in compliance with federal communications laws
There has been a great deal of discussion and legal precedence with regard to text messaging and how it relates to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)and the CAN SPAM act. Because these laws were enacted prior to consumer and commercial usage of this technology, the FCC and the courts are still trying to determine how these rules apply. Interestingly, the current consensus is that text messaging falls under both acts. In other words, in some ways a text message is similar to a “phone call” and in other ways it has characteristics shared with email.
