Just wanted to comment on your remark. Zong does allow you to send non-premium messages to your users. In that scenario, you need to pay for them. The price per message depends on volume. On another note, I think we still have a massive opportunity to monetize web audiences on mobile. Value perception is still very different and the payment is so seamless that it doesn't hurt users the way it would if they were taking a credit card out of their wallet. A good example is the price of full-track song on iTunes, which comes at 99¢. Take the same, lower quality, shorter track sold as a ringtone on AT&T, it sells for $2.99. Also, mobile is often the perfect monetization route for younger demographics that don't have credit cards but who are avid mobile users. Hi Gregg. Just wanted to comment on your remark.

His accomplishments would indicate the potential for success. But why not something related to music? Interesting, we’ll have to see how this pans out.
