Would You Take A Pay Cut To Have Better Internet Access?
from the seems-a-bit...-extreme dept
There have been plenty of studies suggesting that frequent internet users experience some basic withdrawal symptoms when kept away from connectivity for a while, but is it worth taking a pay cut? A new study (third item down) suggests that 14% of executives would take a pay cut to have better mobile internet access. The study also notes that problems with access were the third most stressful aspect of business travel (flight delays took the top spot) and that mobile workers wasted a grand total of 24 hours a year trying to find/set up internet access.
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
