Niklas Zennstrom Quotes

The single most important top-level trend is the shift to mobile.

I refused to do a lot on mobile Internet until around 2009. But because we didn't start early, it took us some time to figure out what's the important thing, what's the most relevant thing for Baidu.

Mobile will probably disrupt much of what we know of web 2.0.

The mobile market is exploding and it makes perfect sense for a media company like ours to create a real content destination for the billions of cell-phone users around the world.

The massive migration from dumb phones to smart phones is a great opportunity for young companies to take advantage of.

As Android, iPhone and other mobile platforms grow, we are moving away from the page-based Internet. The new Internet is app centric and often message-centric.

Mobile entertainment is a huge opportunity. We are committed to mobile just as much as we are to PCs.

The interesting thing is when you look at what people want to do on their phone, it's mail, weather, check stock quotes and news. That's Yahoo's business. This is a huge opportunity for us because we have the content and all the information people want on their phones.

With consumers buying two smartphones for every desktop computer they purchase, the demands, challenges and opportunities of the mobile space are reshaping our assumptions about design and user behaviour.

Everybody's enamored of the iPhone, the Google phone. But the applications are going to change. You know, we're going to start using our phones for shopping. It's going to change the nature of advertising.

From the first time I held an iPhone, the space has evolved quickly, and people have shifted from reading content on their desktops to smartphones and iPads, even long-form stuff.

Sponsored stories are not a great way to monetize mobile traffic. The phone is way more of a publishing tool than a reading tool. The attention users pay to the streams on mobile is far less than on the desktop.

The mobile Internet is growing, fueled by increasing smartphone penetration and better networks.

We're a community of a billion-plus people, and the best-selling phones - apart from the iPhone - can sell 10, 20 million. If we did build a phone, we'd only reach 1 or 2 percent of our users.

A good browser, apps, good camera, and fast networking in your smartphone is just expected today.

The iPhone revolutionised the mobile industry, rather like the iPod before it with the personal music player.

Mobile is an incredibly fast-growing market and will continue to be.

I believe, 50 years from now, when you write history, one technology that would have changed human civilization is going to be the mobile Internet.
