Mobile Data Has Yet To Hit Its Mark

Carriers Score With Entertainment-Motivated Youth, But Few Others

This is the third document in the "State Of Mobile 2005" series.

by Charles S. Golvin

with Chris Charron, Sally M. Cohen, Tenley McHarg


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

More than 11% of mobile subscribers use the branded data service offered by their carrier, up from 9% in 2003. Age, gender, and technology attitude are strong predictors of data adoption, as is ethnicity — Blacks and Hispanics make up a disproportionately large percentage of data subscribers. Mobile data users spend more, value high-end phone features, express greater satisfaction with their carrier, and are more apt to choose online service. Carriers succeed primarily with entertainment-oriented consumers today. They must enhance communications and synchronization apps to reach family- and career-motivated segments.
