This shouldn't surprise anyone, as the mobile ads that we use in our text and voice channel have very high CPMs and high clickthrough rates since they are so targeted. Mobile advertising is early, but long term, we believe it will build many profitable businesses, much as web advertising has enabled. Matt,
