A US survey finds that very few of those who use broadband Internet connections are accessing the Internet via mobile devices.
The top two barriers to using mobile devices for Net access are extra fees and difficulty of using the Net on small screens. Among those who own Net-enabled phones but don’t use them for Web access, 58% cited extra fees and 26% cited small screens as top barriers; among those who do use mobile devices for Net access, 52% and 49% cited fees and small screens, respectively, as the top barriers.
I’m curious as to the UK experience. I personally do not access the Internet on my phone (I moblogged while in Singapore, until I got the bill — let’s say I decided Never Again), mainly because of cost (my operator does not offer flat data fees), although I’m one of those people who suffers withdrawal if I’m away from my laptop for too long.
Do you access the Internet on your handheld device? Do you think it’s still in ‘early adopter’ phase in the UK? Do you think it’s about to ‘tip’? Tell me what you think.
