Of all the worldwide internet users, a third accesses the internet on their mobile devices as more and more people are now preferring smartphones or tablets over PCs to browse the internet. Video streaming on mobile devices via YouTube or Netflix (TV on demand service) has also become easier with high-speed 4G networks and large screen sizes. Making online purchases using a mobile device has become a skyrocketing trend as people are increasingly enjoying the luxury of buying their favorite items online from anywhere.

Businesses now see a great opportunity to bank upon burgeoning mobile internet users worldwide.
