Mobile entertainment:
perceived barriers stifling consumer demand

is quite different.

The survey reveals that only 11% currently access the internet
from their mobile devices and only a modest 20% are
extremely or very interested in doing so in the future.

emailing is stronger with 17% considering it very important
and a further 31% somewhat important. However, it still
shows that there isn‟t yet mass market demand for online
connectivity when on-the-go.

There are a number of reasons, the most important of which


is the perceived cost of data charges. This was identified by
almost 50% of respondents and helps explain why only 10%
consider music downloading to mobile and 7% video streaming
to mobile to be important features.
The second barrier is perceived speed. 1 in 5 consider the
connection speed to be too slow to make mobile internet a
viable option. This is more a technical barrier that can be
overcome over time but it‟s certainly an obstacle right now.
Reflecting the lack of activity, many web sites aren‟t yet
properly configured for mobile internet, which is highlighted
as a main barrier for 1 in 4 consumers. Question: What do you consider are the main barriers for you
using a portable device to access the Internet when on-the-go?
Various other reasons were given but only 10% of respondents
Base: All respondents (1,608)
stated there were no barriers for them, indicating the scale
of the problem.

Usage of on-demand services is correlated with age. For instance, 2 out of 3 males and 1 in 2 females under 24 regularly use YouTube. Having said that, over I in 4
males 45-54 also regularly use it. As one might expect, teenagers are the heaviest users with YouTube, 4OD, iPlayer, as well as streaming sites such as Veoh and
Metacafe.

One major provider that bucks the youth trend is ITV, whose on-demand services are as much used by consumers in their 20s as they are by teenagers, most likely
reflecting the older demographic reach of the channel.

Going forward, is it reasonable to suggest that consumer control is essential for video services to prosper?

The answer is probably yes and no. The evidence strongly suggests that the major traditional UK broadcasters can thrive in an on-demand environment as long as
they offer quality content. Indeed, apart from YouTube, it is the major broadcasters that are capturing on demand usage even though such services are relatively
still really in their infancy. Equally, it is difficult to suggest that YouTube‟s growth will fail to continue apace for the foreseeable future.

Impact of video streaming sites
on scheduled television
Question: What impact would you say has watching clips/programmes on
YouTube (and similar sites) had on how much "live television you watch. By
“live”, we mean you watch the same time as scheduled by the broadcaster.
Streaming video sites like YouTube have
become phenomenally popular. It‟s therefore
important to understand whether such sites
have cannibalised viewing time from
scheduled/ broadcast television.

Across the total sample there has been no


discernible impact for the majority of people
(79%). However, there are nearly 1 in 5 (18%)
who state they are watching less scheduled
television because of watching streaming
video. The net balance is -15%.

This loss occurs across all demographics


although it does tend to be heavier among
the under 35s.

Strongly disagree that younger consumers are more ad-averse.
Indeed, it is female teenagers who show the least

However, as a whole, it further highlights a general


negativity towards television advertising, which is a
real issue where more and more consumption is at
the control of the consumer, making avoidance of
the traditional ad-break increasingly easy.
Advertising embedded in content through
watermarks and sponsorship are less vulnerable to
such behaviour.

Download Or stream preference
Question: Given a choice, would you prefer to download content at a higher
resolution whenever you want, or would you prefer to stream lower
resolution content that you watch immediately and doesn't take up space on
your hard drive? Please tell us for each of the following types of content...

There are a variety of means of providing


consumers with digital content. One major
issue is whether to allow consumers to
download content (with or without DRM
restrictions) or to stream content (at a
potentially lower resolution) for immediate
consumption.

The survey found that consumer


preference to download to own or to
stream is highly dependent on the nature
of the content.

In order to look at the preference ratio


more clearly, the next slide re-presents
the same data excluding any consumers
that simply are not interested in
downloading or streaming in the first
place.

Question: Given a choice, would you prefer to download content at a higher resolution

By stripping out the uninterested, we


can see the preference for downloading
or streaming more clearly.

The vast majority of consumers want to


own the music they download. The
absolute opposite is true for movie
trailers. The degree to which consumers
want to download to own is correlated
with the emotional connection to the
content. Music and movies are things
that people really want to own.

Of course, this analysis is a


generalisation. We know the movie
rental market has succeeded for a long
time. It‟s more a case that in principle,
people want to own the movies they love

Computer screen
versus main TV screen
Question: Given a choice, would you prefer to watch the content you download
or stream on your computer screen or on your main television screen?
Once consumers gain access to digital video content,
one of the big questions is how they wish to view it.

The results show a massive preference to view


downloaded or streamed video content on the main
television. 76% of consumers want to always of mostly
use the main television set. Less than 1 in 10 want to
view it always or mostly on the computer screen.

Interestingly, it is the older market and females over


35 in particular that show the greatest demand for
content on the main television screen. Males under 24
are more content watching content mainly on the
computer screen.

Consumer demand therefore clearly exists but the


issue, as identified in the previous chapter, is that it‟s
unacceptably complicated in most cases to get the
content from the PC to the main television set.

Those providers who can offer ease of use can expect


to find a receptive audience.

Player ownership incidence
Question: Please tick which of the following devices you
currently own and are considering to own

When we look at ownership incidence


within the general population, we see the
two formats are neck-and-neck (when we
include Playstation3).

At present, ownership has a slight male bias


and is stronger among the under 35s.
Indications here that it is still an early
adopter market and yet to breakout into
the mainstream.

However, plans to purchase a player (either


of them) are relatively high. Of all the
devices and activities measured in this
report, demand for HD-DVD and Blu-ray top
the list.

This research also shows that the battle to


win generation war is having substantially
negative effects from a consumer
perspective. This is explored in more detail
on the following page.

New disk purchase barriers
Question: Why have you not yet bought a Blu-ray or
an HD-DVD player? Please select all that apply

The vast majority are yet to own a next-


generation player. Whilst demand for the
devices and demand for watching next-gen
movies is relatively high, the research
reveals serious barriers to take ownership
out from its early adopter core and into the
mainstream.

Firstly, as all early adopters are aware, the


price of the players is perceived to be too
high. This is a barrier that will become less
and less important as the cost of production
decreases and is passed onto the consumer.

But there are also non-price related


barriers. Around 1 in 3 are content with DVD
quality and 1 in 4 don‟t own a TV that
would show the quality benefit.

But of more concern to the industry as a

Concern over purchasing
a technology becoming obsolete
Question: How much do you agree or disagree with this statement:
“I‟m put off buying a new generation disk player (Blu-ray or HD-DVD)
because I don‟t want to buy something that may become obsolete”

We have seen that whilst demand is high, there are


barriers to mainstream take up of next gen disk
players, with 1 in 4 consumers waiting for a
resolution of the format war.

When we ask consumers directly whether they


agree with the statement “I‟m put off buying a
new generation disk player because I don‟t want to
buy something that may become obsolete”, we see
over 3 in 5 in agreement.

Whilst this is a leading question, the strength of


agreement shows that the format war certainly is
depressing the consumer appetite to go out and
purchase these devices. Until there is more clarity
in the market, levels of new uptake will not reach
their full potential.

Usage of social networks and communities is


now mainstream with an average of 1 in 2 at
least occasionally using them. Usage does
remain highly correlated with age but even 1
in 8 45-54 year olds regularly use them.
Emotional attachment Future usage among users Among teenagers, over half of males and
two thirds of females use social networks
regularly. As we have seen, for teenagers
they take up a great deal of their available
leisure time and they are having a serious
impact on the consumption of other
activities and media, particularly traditional
media.

Social networks aren‟t a passing fad: the


emotional attachment and likely future
usage are also very strong with a net 1 in 6
saying they are going to use them more.

Awareness and usage
Question: Do you ever use any of the following websites?

There are many social networks out there.


The top five according to consumers are
Facebook, Myspace, Friends Reunited,
YouTube (which qualifies as it has a
community element) and Bebo.

Facebook is a remarkable success. When


consumers were asked, Facebook elicited
the highest proportion of those with a
profile and also the highest profile to
browsing ratio. According to this sample, it
has overtaken Myspace. Awareness of both is
incredibly high – only around 6-7% have
never heard of these communities.

When we breakout the impact of social networks, we see marked differences by demographics. For teenagers (who are the most emotionally attached
to social networks), the impact on other activities and media is even more prominent. Among teenage females, for example, there is a -31% net less
time spent on work/homework. There is also a major negative impact on traditional media – again for teenage females there is a -21% net less time
spent watching broadcast television and -14% net less time spent reading books. On the other hand, among female teenagers, there is a net +19%
increase in time spent listening to music.

Again, this reinforces the belief that it makes sense to intercept the consumer in such places, providing even more weight for the potential of such
communities to be used to distribute content.

Impact of websites on purchase
of printed magazines

Question: To what extent, if any, has visiting magazine


websites affected your purchases of printed magazines?

As with newspapers, we can see the extent to which


visiting magazine websites has affected purchase
levels of the printed version.

The first thing to note is the impact is less


pronounced for magazines than for newspapers. For
over 3 in 5 there is no impact at all. The proportion
that have stopped buying or are buying less
magazines is 22% (compared to 30% for newspapers).

Males are slightly more likely than females to have


stopped buying or buying less of the printed
versions.

e-Book Reader purchase consideration

Question: If the price were reasonable, how likely, if at all, would you be to purchase an
e-book reader in the next 6 months?
(Note this question was asked after respondents were informed of all its functions and capabilities)

It‟s long been considered whether an e-Book can do for


books what the iPod did for music (and also the dangers
of piracy in making available digital versions of books).

In terms of purchase consideration the analysis shows


that the e-Book market is still relatively niche despite
the relatively high levels of appeal for its functionality.
17% stated they would definitely or almost certainly
consider a purchase. Demand peaks with males 25-34

There is a viable audience but there is still a long way to


go to make the e-Book reader a mainstream device.

Mobile phone preference
Forced single choice

Question: Which one of the following mobile phones would you most prefer to have?

The „ideal‟ mobile phone means different


things to different people.

For 1 in 4, all they wish for is a simple


phone for talking and texting. Of course,
this means that 3 out of 4 people are
seeking much more than this from their
mobile.

Indeed, other than a simple phone, the next


most popular type is a device that
incorporates as many functions as possible.
Out of the other options, it‟s clear there is a
high level of demand for the mobile phone
as a functioning media playing device. At
present there appears to be more demand
for music than video based content.

Online connectivity is another draw. At


present the demand for this is more driven
by the wish to communicate via email rather
than entertainment content but opening up
the mobile to online does create a whole
range of content opportunities (which are

Interest in downloading or streaming
content among current non-users
Question: You said that you do not stream or download the following content to your mobile
phone. How keen, if at all, would you be to start doing these things in the future?

In terms of future activity, consumers


currently show relatively limited interest in
starting to use their mobiles for downloading
or streaming. For instance just 5% of those
people not currently downloading music to
their mobiles state that they are very keen to
start. This suggests that the market is unlikely
to grow significantly in the near future.

We expect that as mobiles become more


sophisticated media players with better
storage and the cost of data charges
decreases activity levels will increase
accordingly.

Whilst there is not at present overwhelming


demand for content other than music and
ringtones on mobile devices, consumers do
tend to agree that their mobile will
eventually become their main portable
media device.

Interest in accessing the internet
using portable devices
Question: How interested, if at all, are you in accessing the
Internet from a portable device when you are on-the-go?

Extremely interested 8% Here we can immediately see the lack of interest for
online on-the-go. Only 20% are extremely or very
Very interested interested which is a relatively low level of definitive
23% interest. Just under 50% are not very interested or
Somewhat interested 12% not at all interested.

Not very interested Whilst not everyone will convert to mobile internet (a
significant proportion only want mobiles to call and
Not at all interested text), such levels seem low given the wide range of
opportunities that exist with the technology.

What‟s even more intriguing is that one would expect


higher levels of interest among early adopting
teenagers. This is not the case. Interest is higher
among males in their 20s rather than teenagers.

for mobile internet is not as high as might be expected.
Slow speed of accessing websites 33% Firstly, a significant proportion (25%) are simply not
interested. This we would expect given the incidence of
consumers who simply want phones for calling and
Just not interested 25% texting.
There are however, a whole range of other reasons for
suppressed demand.
Many sites not configured for port. devices 24%
Cost is a major issue - the cost not only of the hardware
(mentioned by 1 in 4 consumers) but also of data charges
Cost of hardware/portable device 23% (1in 2 consumers) As the cost of internet-enabled
hardware comes down, this might become less of an issue
but consumers clearly need more reasonably priced data
Worried about device being stolen 20% tariffs to stimulate their interest.
There are other barriers. 1 in 5 consider the speed of

Perception of next generation consoles
as “must have” items
Question: For each of these next generation consoles, how would you rate each of them on
a scale of 1 to 7, where 7 is "A must have item" and 1 is "Completely unimportant“?

Unimportant Must have

Average
out of 7
One way of understanding the relative
position of the players in the next
generation console battle is to ask
4.0 consumers the extent to which they
consider each to be a “must have”
item.

The Nintendo Wii is a fairly clear


winner in terms of being considered a
“must have.” The Xbox 360 and
Playstation 3 are roughly on a par.
3.5 The Wii is ahead across all
demographics (although it is more of a
dead heat among Males aged 25-34).

3.6

Reasons for not purchasing a
next generation games console
Among non-owners
Question: You said earlier that you didn't own a next generation games console like a
Playstation 3, Xbox360 or a Nintendo Wii. What are the reasons why you haven't bought...?

Playstation 3 Xbox 360 Nintendo Wii


This analysis provides explanations as to why
non-owners have not yet purchased a next
generation games console.

One reason of course is that they‟re simply


not interested in gaming, don‟t need one or
prefer PC gaming.

The major reason however, is a perception


across all three consoles, that they are too
expensive. This is a concern felt more
strongly for the Playstation 3 and least for
the Wii. Almost 1 in 4 consumers are awaiting
a price reduction.

It is highly likely that price reductions will


occur and this is only good news in
stimulating the market.

The next most important reason is the


perception that games are too expensive.
Again, this perception is felt slightly more
strongly for the Playstation 3.

The Wii generates the highest purchase


intention (15%), followed by the Playstation 3
(9%) and then the Xbox 360 (6%).
