Zong Founder David Marcus Explains Mobile Payments, Virtual Currencies and International Pricing [Video]

At this year’s Social Gaming Summit, I had the chance to sit down with David Marcus, the CEO and founder of Zong, a leading mobile payment provider. In short, they allow players to pay for virtual goods online by simply entering their mobile phone number and having the charges added to their mobile phone bill. They’ve been making waves by working directly with Facebook on several initiatives, including being one of the first to test their Facebook Credits platform, and have spread out to reach 176 carriers in 40 countries with their services.
