  2. Mobile Media and Communications Week 1 Reading Assignment Discussion Mobile Content End-User Survey Findings: • Social Network Mobile Subscribers were twice as likely to be regular users of mobile Internet services as Mobile Subscribers. • In the Mobile Subscribers survey group, 65% of subscribers reported sending or receiving text messages (or both) once a month or more, versus 88% of the Social Networking Mobile Subscriber group • Nearly twice as many Social Network Mobile Subscribers (44%) were users of mobile email compared to the Mobile Subscriber group (23%). • 52% of Social Network Mobile Subscribers listened to music on their mobile phones once a month or more, and 23% among the Mobile Subscribers group did.

  3. Mobile Media and Communications Week 1 Reading assignment Discussion • Rita: 1. Why is SMS/MMS no longer useful (according to the survey)? • 2. Is there a specific sector/group that would find this survey helpful, or is it too general? • Roni: 2. What will it take for mobile subscribers, particularly demographics that don’t adopt technology quickly, to embrace the mobile phone as more than just a phone? • Aaron: 1. What are the major factors behind the average mobile users’ limited acceptance of mobile device potential? • 2. What tactics could the mobile industry use to counter these obstacles?

  4. Mobile Media and Communications Week 1 Reading assignment Discussion • Amy: 1. The survey reported ¾ of the Social Networking mobile users to be between 18 and 29. How does this compare with non-mobile Social Networking users (i.e. online), and is this trend expected to go up as mobile technology becomes more like a standard web experience, and less of a ‘techy’ experience? • Raquel: Why is Internet access in mobile phones so expansive in the United States?

  5. Mobile Media and Communications Week 1 Reading assignment Discussion • Bonnie:1. Will particle marketing have the same impact on mobile communications as it’s had on traditional Internet advertising and is now having on social networking sites? • 3. What does “promoting mobile content on online social network sites” really mean? How do we define mobile content in a time when mobile devices are, by company, “islands unto themselves?”
