Global Consumer Survey Results This Research Brief is part of the Consumer Mobility Research Service In late January, 2008, ABI Research conducted an online survey of 1402 adult mobile phone users. Respondents from seven different countries were included in the research: the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The survey was designed to capture details of respondents’ mobile phone usage, including monthly expenditures and frequency of device replacement, as well as features used and desired. Respondents were also probed regarding their mobile service providers; among the issues explored were satisfaction with providers, length of contracts, selection criteria, and potential reasons for switching providers. Questions were also included to determine demographic profiles. The survey also queried respondents’ reactions to femtocell units, including purchase likelihood and barriers to purchase. Finally, respondents’ telecommunications service bundling behavior and expenditures, including fixed line phone, broadband, Wi-Fi, and TV services, were examined. The results are broken out by country, presented in chart form, and summarized in text. ![]() ![]()
