[ClickZ] At the Mobile Advertising & Marketing USA event in San Francisco this week, agency execs blamed the slow progress of mobile ads in the U.S. on a combination of carrier constraints, the plethora of devices that all need individual coding, and a basic lack of understanding by their clients of what the mobile space can provide them.
