A system for targeted delivery of advertising of a sponsor to a plurality of mobile communication facilities of a first or second type, the system comprising one or more computers having computer readable mediums having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of the one or more computers, causes the system to perform the steps of:

(a) presenting data corresponding to the first type and the second type of mobile communication facility to the sponsor, wherein a rendering capability of the first type of mobile communication facility is different from a rendering capability of the second type of mobile communication facility, wherein the rendering capability comprises a make or model of the respective first type and second type of mobile communication facility;

(b) receiving a first mobile advertising content and a second mobile advertising content from the sponsor, wherein the first mobile advertising content requires the rendering capability of the first type of mobile communication facility to be rendered thereon and wherein the second mobile advertising content requires the rendering capability of the second type of mobile communication facility to be rendered thereon, wherein the first mobile advertising content is incompatible with the second type of mobile communication facility and the second mobile advertising content is incompatible with the first type of mobile communication facility; and
