<description><![CDATA[Now herea4a4s a telling sign that AT&amp;amp'Ta4a4s network reputation is in shambles: The popular Daily Show ran a long segment espousing the virtues of the Verizon iPhone while constantly referencing AT&amp;amp'Ta4a4s network failure.Show host Jon Stewart expressed his frustration about the iPhone, calling it a4Athe worlda4a4s most popular almost phone,a4 and he appeared genuinely grateful that he would finally be able to make calls reliably on Verizona4a4s network. The same sentiment ran through the showa4a4s audience, as well as people interviewed on the street and in their homes.While New Yorkers and San Franciscans are likely seeing the bulk of AT&amp;amp'Ta4a4s network failure, the fact that a national comedy show spent over seven minutes of running time on the issue is telling. Clearly, the Verizon iPhone isna4a4t something just geeks are clamoring for.Via EngadgetNext Story: Irish gas supplier invests $2.6 million in tidal power Previous Story: Ad network Adknowledge raises $200M to pursue acquisitionsPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: iPhone, reception, smartphones, The Daily ShowCompanies: Apple, AT&amp;amp'T, VerizonPeople: jon stewart          Tags: iPhone, reception, smartphones, The Daily ShowCompanies: Apple, AT&amp;amp'T, VerizonPeople: jon stewartDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.

<description><![CDATA[Smaato, a company that helps mobile publishers find the most lucrative ads across multiple networks, just raised $7 million as it prepares to expand its efforts in Southeast Asia.When I last spoke to Smaato at the end of 2009, the company was crowing about how it had grown from serving 100 to 1,000 publishers in a year. Now cofounder and chief marketing officer Harald Neidhardt said the company has grown by yet another order of magnitude, with 11,000 publishers currently signed up.One likely reason for the fast growth is what Neidhardt identified as one of the big trends in the past year: the fact that the company is now working with partners like Pubmatic and Alcatel Lucent that can connect Smaato with a bunch of publishers at once.Again, Smaato isna4a4t an ad network, but rather a service for pulling advertising from different ad networks (the company says it works with more than 50 of them). Competitors include Nexage and Operaa4a4s Open Mobile Ad Exchange, although Neidhardt that therea4a4s just as much partnership and a4Acoopetitiona4 in the industry as there is out-and-out competition. And of those companies, Smaato has the best support for publishers and advertisers outside the United States, he said.The round was led by Singaporean firm EDBI, which Neidhardt said was a logical investor since Smaato sees its next big opportunity in Southeast Asia. The company is headquartered in Redwood Shores, Calif., but it has a global sales and support team, including an office in Singapore.Existing backer Aeris Capital also invested in the new round.Next Story: 8 more mutable suggestions of startup naming Previous Story: News Corp. chief James Murdoch wants to toss the newspaper onto your iPadPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: mobile ad exchanges, mobile ad optimization, mobile advertisingCompanies: Aeris Capital, EDBI, SmaatoPeople: Harald Neidhardt          Tags: mobile ad exchanges, mobile ad optimization, mobile advertisingCompanies: Aeris Capital, EDBI, SmaatoPeople: Harald NeidhardtAnthony is a senior editor at VentureBeat, as well as its reporter on media, advertising, and social networks.
