Spurred in large part by the growing ubiquity of broadband, innovation on the internet has never been healthier. The online giants (Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, eBay…) naturally top the ranks for the most popular flagship services, and are developing aggregation strategies for new high-potential services (blogging, VoIP, video, mobile, etc.). Technological innovation (new products and services) is at the very heart of the internet giants’ strategies – all locked in a battle for audience, which has led to the launch of a host of new services, to increasingly broad (sometimes too broad!) diversification and to a very active partnership and acquisitions policy. |

Faced with a slowing growth rate of ad revenue for the small screen and the rising popularity of off-the-grid viewing, TV channel operators are working to forge themselves a position on the web to take advantage of the huge increase in advertising investments in this medium. Capitalising on the strength of their media brands, broadcasters are offering new TV services online. This “new media” strategy, which is being deployed by TV channels across the board in North America and Europe, is forcing changes in media chronology, new business models and a change in the TV broadcaster and aggregator businesses – moving from the delivery of a push type TV service to the distribution of programmes in pull mode, while working to create a more personalised and interactive relationship with viewers. |

For most traditional media companies, advertising alone is not enough to finance their online operations. They are having to contend with more competitors: pure players, content aggregators, other media UGC (User-Generated Content). CPM is lower: an online consumer generates five to 10 times less ad revenue than an offline consumer. E-commerce is thriving, and offering media sites a potential source of added income, particularly since they have been involved in sales activities offline for a long time (shopping channels, licensed products, co-branded and special editions). |

Centris' US Wireless Survey provides the opportunity to gain a detailed understanding of consumer preferences, at the household and individual levels, regarding next-generation voice, data, and video services (both currently and in the future). These preferences concern alternative modes of access, patterns of use, price responses and bill sizes, and service providers. The survey also enables the prediction of consumer behavior over time or as circumstances change. The survey is an essential strategic element for service providers, application and content providers, and equipment manufacturers because it takes into account the impact of various geo-demographic characteristics of consumers. Thus, it is possible to estimate and predict various metrics of consumer behavior for any consumer profile, i.e., the consumer's choices (of service use, providers, and wireless devices) and demographic characteristics. |
