Recession will cut mobile entertainment growth in half

Unless key markets emerge from recession, user spending on mobile entertainment services will slow dramatically, increasing by nearly $13 billion over the next five years according to a forecast issued by market analysis firm Juniper Research, which previously predicted pre-downturn growth of $26 billion.

Other findings from the report include:
