Happy Metaverse Monday and welcome to Principle #10; the last of my TOP TEN METAVERSE COMMANDMENTS: METAVERSE ANNUAL REVENUE WILL EXCEED $100 BILLION IN SEVEN YEARS While big companies continue to cling to the past, disruptive startups and innovators will make plenty of money by making it up in volume. In 2005, before Facebook or the iPhone, I gave a keynote speech at the mobile industry’s biggest conference, the CTIA show in San Francisco where I called the mobile phone, a “social computer”. At that time, mobile voice revenue in the U.S. was more than $100 billion per year, and mobile data, including internet, app stores, games, ringtones and screensavers, was only $2 billion. Industry leaders didn’t believe a phone was useful for anything other than voice calls and triple-tapped texting for teenagers. During my remarks, I made a joke about how tiny our content side of the industry was. I But if we could realize the content potential of the mobile phone, we could grow mobile data plan revenue to $100 billion in seven years. The next day my talk was covered in the media, but there was no mention of my $100 billion forecast. Not considered newsworthy then, exactly seven years later, mobile data plans reached $100 billion. We’re now have huge potential for a new social medium that can drive a mass market to grow quickly; and a public that is already building expectations and experimenting with early prototypes. As this unfolds, I believe the metaverse industry will reach $100 billion in annual market revenue in seven years. So will NFTs for games.
