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. |

To gain key insights into the actual and prospective behavior of consumers of wireless services, Centris has developed an ongoing, flexible, and wide-ranging survey that is supported by many levels of qualitative and quantitative analysis. With its pioneering focus on individual consumers of communications services, the design of the Centris wireless survey is both innovative and strategic. This micro-level and comprehensive survey tracks and evaluates the decisions and preferences of households and individuals, offering the best opportunity to understand the all-important demand side of a rapidly developing - and converging - communications marketplace. Most importantly, this survey offers information on the entire wireless platform, (i.e., all forms of communication made possible by wireless devices or technologies), not just the use of cell phones for voice and a limited number of other communication services. |

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. |

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). |
