Sender pays: the first taste of the future of mobile content.

Do you want to provide rich mobile content – animation, video, games etc. – either as part of subscription or as part of a marketing campaign, without consumers being slapped with indeterminate download fees? Then rejoice, because change is afoot.
Whatever you call it the ‘sender-pays’ or ‘zero-rated-data’ model, it’s here and the British made-for-mobile drama THMBNLS, proves it works. And changes on the cards over the next few months will make it easier, and maybe cheaper, to pull it off.

If good web writing is good writing boiled for forty minutes on high, then good mobile web writing is leaving the copy on the stove overnight.
That concentrated stuff on the bottom of the pot? That’s what mobile users want when they’re on the go.
A few tips for writing better mobile web copy:
Cut to the chase.
If you can’t write the copy on your hand, rewrite it.
Be goal-directed (your users are).
