SMS.ac and Wireless Wonk Survey Probes TV Services Coming to Mobile Phones2 April 2005
As mobile phones continue their metamorphosis into everything-in-one wireless devices, how will consumers respond to TV services, as they become available? This week, SMS.ac, Inc. (www.sms.ac/corporate) partnered with ForceNine Consulting and The Wireless Wonk to probe that question, utilizing the largest community of mobile phone users in the world as a test group (www.sms.ac).
"In our most recent research collaboration, SMS.ac worked with us to investigate consumer sentiments related to viewing television services on mobile handsets," said Andrew Roscoe, a partner with ForceNine Consulting who is also known as "The Wireless Wonk" within mobile industry circles.
"The results of that research will be released during this Friday's segment of The Wireless Wonk webcast (www.wirelesswonk.net)," added Roscoe. "The findings are interesting and clearly demonstrate what people want to view via TV-enabled mobile phones, along with their degree of price sensitivity to these services. The ongoing relationship between The Wireless Wonk and SMS.ac enables our two companies to jointly conduct market research on attitudes and behaviors of tens-of-thousands of wireless consumers around the world."
