XAPP Agrees – Mobile is the New Black

I was at the RAIN conference in Indianapolis catching up with a mix of Broadcast and Internet Radio executives. There was a lot of great content shared. The Internet Radio industry is definitely a numbers-driven market and there was plenty of data to chew on.

It is becoming an important tool for reaching consumers.
