Indonesia remains in top position and grows stronger each quarter. The number of banners served on Indonesian mobile sites doubled in the fourth quarter to 3.6 billion, approximately the same as the number served through the first nine months of the year.

India, South Africa, the US and Kenya round out the top five.

Indian usage increased ten percent, reversing the previous quarter's decline.

South African ad delivery dropped fourteen percent, the second straight quarter of decline, as publishers are declining ad banners from the network in an effort to promote and monetise their own content.

The USA moves into 4th place with 47% growth, while Kenya drops into 5th place, possibly as a result of traffic induced network irregularities.
