Benedict Evans was quoted in an article discussing the launch of the Tesco Hudl tablet next week. He said that " Tesco's strategic imperative is to start building up people's sense that the company is a place to go to get things digitally." He added the problem for Tesco is that the iPad is getting cheaper, offers a better user experience and a greater range of apps than Android tablets such as the Hudl. " If money was not an object, you would never buy the Hudl."

Ian Maude was quoted in an article discussing the recent appointment of Dawn Airey, a former chairman and chief executive of UK commercial TV broadcaster Five, as Head of Yahoo's operations in Europe.

"It is going to be a huge challenge for anyone but it says a lot about the Yahoo brand they've managed to attract someone of her experience."

Claire Enders was quoted in an article discussing BT's sports deal with Virgin Media. She said that "it looks like a fairly defensive move from both parties."

An article on the possible disruption to desktop-oriented internet companies by the growth of mobile quoted Benedict Evans, who discussed the case of Facebook. “It may not matter that lots of people are using WhatsApp – they are using Facebook too,” he said. “It may be a different dynamic [on mobile] – that Facebook hasn’t won in the way they have on the desktop, but that may not matter.”
