Curiosos resultados los de esta encuesta de la operadora de telefonía móvil Yoigo. ¿Nos estamos volviendo unos yonkis del internet?

YOIGO ha publicado los resultados de la Primera Encuesta Online de la operadora, que se ha realizado las últimas semanas.

Como siempre, los resultados, aunque posiblemente esperados, cuando se ven reflejados en un papel (o pantalla) son más llamativos. De hecho, hay para más de un titular, aunque el destacado por YOIGO es realmente llamativo:
El 49% de los internautas dedica más tiempo a navegar en Internet que a su pareja.

Pero vamos a ver el resto de resultados:

  • El 77% de los encuestados creen que no podrían volver a vivir sin Internet.
  • El 58% confiesa que se conecta a Internet antes del primer café matinal.
  • Lo más visto en Internet sería el Email, y los médios de comunicación Online.
  • 3 de cada 4 reconocen que continuan descargando contenidos multimedia de La Red.
  • El uso mayoritario del móvil (77%) sigue siendo la Voz.
  • Más del 50% consideran que las tarifas móviles no son lo bastante claras.
  • El mayor interés de Internet móvil es el Email (55%), seguido de las Redes Sociales (22%)
  • Sólo el 36% reconoce haber subido a Youtube un video grabado con su teléfono móvil.
  • El 80% utiliza las Redes Sociales, siendo Facebook la preferida (62%), seguida por Tuenti.
  • Sólo el 13% reconoce haber mentido o suplantado la personalidad en su perfil
  • Además, el 43% afirma haber buscado información sobre ex-parejas.

Sure, now that it's a novelty people will drop $1.99 for a video short, but is that sustainable? After all, that's nearly $2 for 90 seconds. If that were sustainable, media companies would be dancing in the streets. Clearly this is going to change as more people adapt to mobile phones and we stop doing "show and tell" with fun little apps and media clips. Peter, I think your skepticism is still warranted, it just needs more time. I think shorts and other content will eventually need to be free just like WSJ and NYT are using teaser headlines and opening graphs to pull readers in. I do believe in micro transactions, for sure, but my guess is that we'll eventually change our behavior - where "show and tell" content may just be too frivolous - and media producers will still need to find a better way to offer and monetize content.

iPhone Users: We’ll Pay for Content

How do you get Web users to pay for content? Get an iPhone in their hands.

That’s one conclusion you can draw from a new survey, which shows that people who own the Apple (AAPL) handsets are more willing to pay for stuff than the average Internet surfer.

It’s a UK survey, conducted by the Olswang media law firm, but my hunch is that you’d see similar results in the US. And given that consumers look much less likely to pay for stuff than publishers and distributors would like, it’s worth chewing on. Guardian:

The survey showed that 58% of people would pay to access online a film just released in cinemas, 52% would pay for access to a film that will not be on DVD for at least two months and 40% would pay to access a film which is already on DVD or pay-TV. Looking at solely iPhone users, however, those figures jump to 73%, 67% and 54% respectively.

…News content, however, remains a tough online sell. The survey asked how willing consumers would be to buy a newspaper article or column which could be read on a computer or portable device such as a phone or e-reader. Only 19% of respondents expressed any willingness to pay – though that did increase to 30% among iPhone users.

I’ve been repeatedly skeptical that consumers will pay for something solely because it’s on a mobile device — this is the key idea behind the magazine industry’s digital plans — but I do think there are some cases where this might work.

My own anecdotal confirmation: My household just dropped $6 for three Pixar shorts for an iPhone 3G, in a desperate attempt to provide some electronic baby sitting/soothing. This despite the fact that everything we bought is also available for free on YouTube. When you need the stuff, you can’t be dependent on a wireless connection.

Here’s one of the clips we spent $1.99 on:

So the iPhone is coming to Tesco Mobile – what will this mean for pricing as one of the world’s most premium products comes to one of the UK’s least premium supermarkets. At the end of the day, an iPhone is an iPhone so I can only imagine that the tariffs will be the main differentiator. Going to be interesting to see how this pans out though. However I feel that there is a chance that the iPhone may lose some of its shine if every Tom, Dick and Harry has one, but let’s wait and see. Something tells me it won’t be that cheap.
