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. |

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). |
