Rich Media and Sponsors Join Search Boom


Skyrocketing spending in the search category � the core business for Google � has paced the entire Internet advertising sector, but Kagan Research forecasts two other categories will boom as well in the 10 years ahead.

The Internet categories of rich media and sponsorships will experience compound annual growth rates (CAGR) from 2006-2016 of more than 10 percent, according to soon to be published Kagan databook Advertising Forecasts 2006: U.S. Market Trends & Data for All Major Media (fourth edition). Search is also forecast to be a 10 percent CAGR advertising category.

In all, there are eight categories � using the format of the Interactive Advertising Bureau � for Internet advertising, including slower growing email, slotting fees, display ads, classifieds and referrals.

That paradigm is undergoing a transition driven by Software-Defined Satellites (SDS). A recent market study by ABI Research underscores this transition, painting a picture of technological advancement and a fundamental reshaping of global connectivity, security, and national interests.

Instead of launching a satellite designed for a single, fixed purpose (like broadcasting specific frequencies to a specific region), SDS allows operators to modify, upgrade, and reconfigure a satellite's functions after it's in orbit, primarily through software updates. The ABI Research report highlights ...
