First things first. From all of us at Chetan Sharma Consulting, we wish you and yours a very happy, healthy, and prosperous 2011. Thanks to all who
participated in our 2011 Mobile Predictions Annual Survey. We have found it is the best way to think about the trends coming our way.
We put some of the questions to our colleagues in the industry. We were able to glean some valuable insights from their choices and comments. This
survey is different from some of the others in the sense that it includes industry movers and shakers participation. Executives and insiders
(n=225) from leading mobile companies across the value chain and around the world opined to help us see what 2011 might bring.

1. Jared Cornfeld, Industry analyst, FCC
2. Abhi Rele, Marketing, Microsoft
3. Christopher Billich ,Head of Mobile Advertising, Deutsche Telekom AG
4. Gary Cohen, VP/GM North America, Flirtomatic

moment in our dynamic industry. It has been a terrific year for us here at Chetan Sharma Consulting and we are looking forward to 2011 and
seeing many of you along the way. We hope you enjoyed gaining from the collective wisdom. Your feedback is always welcome.
