First of all there are the media houses themselves, then the advertisers and lastly the audience.

Several questions pop-up: how sustainable are mobile news platforms for media houses and are mobile solutions profitable? Do advertisers want to pay for cell-phone advertisements and are South Africans prepared to pay for news content on their cell phones?

Ultimately

Obviously these are topics that need to be researched: most South Africans have access to cell phones and research into mobile platforms have not been this complete and detailed. It will not only contribute to the knowledge of the media houses but also examine its target audience and the advertisement market. Ultimately, it would provide a resource that other African media houses can consult when developing a mobile content platform.
