Updated: From the conference call: Jim Voelker, CEO:
—On mobile services side: The growth is being fueled by increases in users, user activity, and the benefits of contract extensions from our largest customers, AT&T and Verizon. Users of our core products increased 34% year over year, and we served approximately 35 million mobile users in the quarter.
—Launching [mobile] search with Verizon was another big issue for us, so I think that business has, as I mentioned, not only rebounded really well, it has been—it is on a very nice trajectory at this point. The key for us is going to be able to turn those search relationships into something that monetized via sales of content or via advertising as time goes on, and it is still too early to tell what those models are going to look like.
