Two of the judges have been selected and announced:

Mark invests in communications companies that are transforming the delivery of digital media, as well as new consumer content companies that meld entertainment with interactivity.

Bringin’ Home the Bacon – The Economics of Your Ad Supported Application Business

Join InMobi as we provide hard data and insight on what it takes to earn a living, what to expect across various countries and networks, and how we can learn from others who have been successful. InMobi will provide hard data on the economics, global research and two case studies from both a B2B and B2C application.
