Mobilecasting Update: Mobile Porn Explosion Coming
Nov 28th, 2006 | By James Lewin | Category: Making Money with Podcasts, Mobile Podcasting, Podcasting Research, Podcasting StatisticsThe mobile adult content market is forecast to grow from its 2006 level of $1.4 billion to over $3.3 billion by 2011, according to new study by Juniper Research.
Over the whole 2006 to 2011 period, Juniper estimates that mobile adult entertainment services will generate a $14.5 billion in revenues, with Europe contributing 39% and Asia Pacific 33%.
Bruce Gibson, Research Director at Juniper Research said: “Adult content business models have succeeded in other major delivery media: print, cinema, DVD, PPV TV etc. There is no reason why the mobile channel should not be equally profitable for adult content industry players.”
“The mobile channel will provide a different way of presenting adult content to traditional delivery channels and will reach new audiences,” adds Gibson. “Mobile is about fun and instant gratification. I think the biggest opportunity is at the casual and “softer” end of the adult market – lads in pubs sharing a video clip after a few pints and people looking for a bit of fun when they have spare time to kill etc – not the hard core stuff.”
Oh, puhleease. What is with this sudden surge of “the Internets are full of naughty bits” news?
You can look around and find statistics and studies that advocate whatever point of view you like, but I seriously doubt that a “mobile porn explosion is coming.” Good lord – that sounds tacky *and* messy.
If such a proliferation of adult content is on the horizon, it’s only because there’s also gonna be an explosion of all kinds of mobile content. Watching great big breasts (and big penises) on a tiny little screen doesn’t sound like a very satisfying “adult” experience to me. It just sounds cheesy.

Don’t you think that Juniper Research knows a porn explosion when they see one?
Its cumming like it , or believe it or not. Who’d a thunk gay porn would be readily available in major hotels just a few years ago? Any porn… what would grandma say. Why does it happen? Money. As far as your cellphone is concerned it probably wouldn’t be satisfactory to watch porn on. I tried it with my 3g enabled phone and it pixeled and sucked. Other mobile devices may be better(PSP). Anyway its coming- but the first commenter is also right… now that i have thee porns on my psp what do i do with it. If i am in the mood for porn typically i am at home in front of my 60″ plazma. lol
