Abstract
Information markets differ from brick-and-mortar markets in several important aspects. The logistics, or more specifically for the following analysis, the interface, between the demand and the supply side of the industry, has changed tremendously. Services are executed when demanded, and the utility comes normally immediately. Information goods can be consumed at almost any place, anytime, and on several different devices. Production of the information offered to the customer can be carried out entirely by the producer but increasingly, in the mobile Internet industry, it is also partly produced by the consumer himself, or by other consumers (Ramirez 1999).
