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.
