The consolidation of the mobile communication industry raises an entire new ecosystem within digital media landscape that deeply influences traditional media industries. The impact of the mobile ecosystem in digital content industries is transferred to traditional media industries in the form of innovation vectors or trends that may give answer to some of the pending questions on the future of media: dis-intermediation and re-intermediation of cultural consumption processes (with a prevailing role of new distribution channels and content discovery systems upon the model of application stores), changes in the conception of value added content (redefining digital content value networks) and cross-media integration (rising new consumption rituals, new content formats and new social network oriented audience metrics).

The book seeks to propose an interdisciplinary framework to discuss the disruptive nature of mobile content. It is an initiative of the Mobile Media Research Network and aims at providing a state of the art of those transformations derived from mobility in digital convergence and digital content, analyzing the situation of the main players in the mobile environment and their confluence and conflicts with digital cultural industries from the perspective of digital mobile content evolution.
