And DuoCash is rapidly expanding their network of USA retail locations, increasing exposure and branding in the youth market."
The global mobile content market is currently valued between $2.0bn and $3.5bn. The USA market is playing a fast game of catch-up with Western Europe and Asia, but is on track to double in size in 2004 to over $350 million.
