"If these are really the dimensions that matter, why are mobile ad rates so low? This is simply an issue of time and of product and market development. The market is still illiquid and sub-scale, and great ad products haven't had time to develop. I don't know what the new mobile ad products will look like yet, and they won't be one-size-fits-all.
