The mobile web has created quite a buzz over the last few years and a lot of expectation has been placed on this next multi-billion dollar opportunity. According to Juniper Research the Mobile Web 2.0 market will be worth $22.4 billion in 2013 up from today's $5.5 Billion, this will be driven by user generated content and social networking.

This is underscored by a recent study released by Opera Software which shows some parts of the world that are experiencing explosive growth in mobile web use.
