Young Adults Make Most of Their Cellphones
This certainly shouldn't be much of a surprise, but a new study shows that young adults use their mobile phones more. People in the 18 to 24 age group are likely to use many more voice minutes. They're also twice as likely to use wireless data services. Sounds like carriers should be targeting the youth crowd then? Well, the article also points out that this same age group is also much more likely to jump from carrier to carrier - so it may tough to build much loyalty.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
