Opera Software acquires more mobile advertising businesses

OperaBrowser company Opera Software has announced the acquisition of two mobile advertising networks; US-based Mobile Theory and UK-based 4th Screen Advertising.

Lars Boilesen, CEO of Opera Software, said “This is yet another important step in Opera’s quest to create even more economic value in the mobile ecosystem. Last year, Opera helped generate well over $200 million in revenue for our publishers globally. Today, we are announcing the acquisition of two great demand-side platforms for mobile advertising. With these assets, and our very popular mobile browsers, Opera is uniquely positioned to deliver end-to-end mobile advertising solutions to brands, agencies, publishers and mobile operators across the globe. We are delighted to welcome the Mobile Theory and 4th Screen team to the Opera family.”

Two years ago, Opera acquired mobile ad service AdMarvel and later opened its own advertising scheme. This was followed by the creation of an Opera app store in 2011.

Predictions for 2016: Network Function Virtualisation, 4G throttling and video calling

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

A 'recording watch' that links to your smartphone

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.

Mark Bridge writes:

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
