representative networks in the world. Exact specifications are as follows:
• Global Available Impressions in July 2010: 20.3 Billion
• Global Available Impressions in October 2010: 24.1 Billion
• Regions Represented: Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, North America, and South America
• Countries Represented: 102 countries with over 10 million impressions in October 2010

• Time Periods: October 2010 with change versus July 2010
Representation
InMobi is committed to an independent and transparent leadership position in mobile advertising. With that in mind, the following
issues are present in this data.
Mobile Advertising Market Definition: This report covers mobile display advertising only including both WAP and APP. SMS/Text
and Search are NOT included in this synopsis.
Scale and Time In Market: Representation within the network is a function of the both scale and time in market. Readers can
expect more fluctation and variance in younger, smaller markets for the company.
Publisher Mix: As with any ad network, market representation is a function of the publisher mix. We have over 5,000 publishers
of all sizes and content types, but changes to the publisher mix in a given market could impact the data.
Advertiser Mix: Similar to publisher mix, the advertiser mix could impact the numbers in our network, although to a much lesser
extent than publishers.
