MP3 Technology Bridging Internet Generation Gap
Global Survey From Angus Reid Group Finds Downloading Music Has Wide Appeal
Vancouver, June 9, 2000 – When it comes to downloading their favourite songs on MP3 files, both adults and youth are getting in the groove with the new technology. According to two recent global studies conducted by the Angus Reid Group Inc., 36% of all adult Internet users and 41% of teens and young adult Internet users have downloaded music from the Web in MP3 or similar formats.
Among teenaged Internet users aged 12-17 in ten recently surveyed countries, Angus Reid found that 44% had downloaded a music file, compared to 38% of the 18-24 year olds. And in an earlier Angus Reid global survey of adult Internet users, nearly one in three young adults, or 35% of 25-34 year olds and 33% of 35-44 year olds in the same countries had downloaded music files themselves. The practice has reached middle aged and older adult Internet users as well, with 23% of Internet users over age 45 reporting that they had downloaded music.
Once they download a music file, Internet users plan to come back for more – over 80% of adults who had downloaded a music file indicated they would be at least somewhat likely to do it again over the next 12 months. Charts available online
“Teens and young adults still represent the biggest share of this market, since a higher proportion of the them are online than adults in most countries,” said Clay Braziller, Vice President, Interactive Strategy for the Angus Reid Group. “But as adults go online, they are clearly starting to take up sampling and downloading for themselves.”
“This is one of the first technologies we have seen on the Net that adults are beginning to adopt as quickly as the youth,” Braziller added. “Teenagers might be in the driver’s seat in the American market, but in other parts of the world adults are also keen to download their choice of music.”
Globally, the incidence of music downloading among adult Internet users is highest in the developing countries of Asia and Latin America where as many as half of the Internet users surveyed had downloaded a music file, compared to one in three adult Internet users in the US (35%). In the ten countries where teenagers and young adults were surveyed, more than half of South Korean youth were downloading their favourite songs – more than teens in any other country surveyed to date. Among adult Internet users, the South Koreans, Argentines and Italians were the most likely to report downloading their favorite music from the Internet.
“Internet users are more excited about downloading MP3 or other music content in countries where there is not a well stocked music store in every local shopping mall,” Braziller said. “It all fits together when we see how popular downloading has become among users in a country like South Korea, which has one of the highest levels of Internet usage in Asia and is also one of the leading manufacturers of MP3 recording devices.”
So far, it appears that downloading MP3 files has not completely supplanted purchases of CDs, at least not over the Internet. Internet users who have downloaded music files are more likely than others to report that their last online purchase was a music CD. “We believe this is the beginning of a transitional stage in how music is being marketed and distributed,” Braziller said. “Music lovers in different age groups and different countries are quickly learning how take advantage of the vast selection now available in the market place. No one can really say what this multi-billion dollar industry will look like in two years, though it is clear its path will be driven both by the technology and the existing retailing infrastructure that is already out there.”
Methodology
Information on the use of MP3 among adult Internet users is from The Face of the Web, an Angus Reid Group study of Internet users in 34 countries completed earlier this year.
The information on the use of MP3 among youth is based on preliminary results from interviews from The Face of the Web – Youth conducted among 3,300 respondents in Argentina, Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Spain, the UK and the USA in March. Interviewing was conducted by telephone, except in Argentina and South Korea where in-person interviews were used. All samples were nationally representative, except in Argentina where coverage was limited to urban areas. National samples each consisted of 300 12-24 year olds, except in the USA where 600 interviews were conducted. Results outside the USA are accurate within an error margin of no more than plus/minus 6 percentage points, 19 times out of 20; in the USA, the results are accurate within an error margin of no more than plus/minus 4 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
The remainder of the Face of the Web -Youth interviewing is now underway in six additional countries, including Canada, Taiwan, the Netherlands, Urban Brazil, Mexico, and China. The Face of the Web – Youth is the companion survey to the Angus Reid Group’s annual Face of the Web survey that covers adult Internet awareness and usage in 34 countries across the world.

Each international section of the site is available not only in its native language, but also in English. Currently, the site features worldwide Internet TV channels from countries including France, Germany, Russia, Spain, China, Mexico, Chile, and Argentina. The site plans to increase its international appeal with the launch of a Latin American portal providing online video from Latin American countries in both Spanish and English.
TvBistro uses the full advantages of online video to provide conveniences that regular television just can’t. The site makes it possible for viewers to watch free Internet TV channels from anywhere they can access a computer.

Follow us on LinkedIn Increasing broadband penetration and rapid technological advancements are facilitating streaming of high-quality audio and video content, thereby driving the revenues of Internet service providers. Over the years, Internet services segment transitioned from free to fee-based model, which is largely attributed to the growing willingness of users to pay for the desired content and services. Several Internet users willingly pay for premium online content and services, especially entertainment specific content such as music, sports, and games. Broadband users in the age group of 25-45 years are principal contributors of online content revenues. Paid Internet services are also finding favor due to the rapid growth in online user base and smart pricing strategies of content providers.
The Internet services market continued to remain buoyant despite the global economic crisis as services such as online advertising proved to be far more economical than other marketing strategies to survive economic upheavals. Digital media such as online advertising, mobile marketing, online verticals, Internet Yellow Pages, and voice search gained prominence especially in a business climate favoring low cost options. The ISP market made moderate gains following various infrastructural investments made by businesses for improving infrastructure to facilitate superior connectivity speeds to improve cost management as well as superior customer accessibility. The optimism of ISPs was further strengthened by the unwillingness of Internet subscribers to part with subscription plans and the increased usage of world wide web for purposes, such as price comparisons, bargains and seeking economical pricing structure, finding new or alternative employment opportunities, upgrading employment skills, selling personal items, and finding loan opportunities. Broadband services emerged unfazed from the by-gone economic downturn and continued to attract new subscribers.
Asia currently represents the leading regional market for Internet Services driven by China, which tops the list of nations with largest Internet subscriber base. The country has also become a preferred market for Internet services owing to the privatization of a number of state utilities. Growth in the Chinese market is driven by online gaming, e-commerce and advertising. India and Japan also offer enormous potential due to vast Internet subscriber base. Potential opportunities exist in developing regions of Latin America and Eastern Europe, as respective governments place emphasis on improving Internet infrastructure. The year 2010 registered twofold increase in the connection speed of mobile networks. With an increase in 3.5G and 3G phones users, mobile Internet services and websites, which are compatible with mobile devices, are on the rise. The Asia-Pacific region, with its rapidly growing mobile-only penetration, is expected to lead the mobile-only broadband market in the year 2015. Online games segment is another major driver to the Internet services industry. The prevalence of PCs, Internet cafes, and increase in broadband usage fueled growth in the industry.
