AJE Mobile Website
• Highest traffic from US, Africa & Europe
• US traffic twice as much as Africa
• Devices: #1. Apple #2. Nokia #3. Blackberry
Some issues to consider
• Data costs are still high in many regions
• (eg, in Qatar 1Mb = ~ £1.70)
• Balance between a quality user
experience & low bandwidth pages
• Mobile Vs Fixed line Internet experience
• AJ mobile websites have full site option available (for
iPhone, Opera users)
