CNBC mobile web traffic grows tenfold in nine months

Business news broadcaster (and Jon Stewart punching bag) CNBC announced that mobile traffic has grown more than tenfold since the June 2008 launch of its mobile website, increasing from first-month totals of 2.7 million to more than 30 million in March 2009. CNBC attributes the traffic growth to the mobile site's exclusive content and accessibility--the site features free real-time quotes and charts from the NASDAQ and NYSE during and after market hours alongside the network's breaking news and analysis, global market data and stock futures in the pre-market. CNBC adds that its cable network reaches approximately 400 million homes worldwide, including more than 95 million households in the U.S. and Canada.
