Few Dutch see Wi-Fi as replacement for data bundle

2014-10-06 17:08:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) The increasing use of Wi-Fi does not seem to be radically driving down mobile internet use from the bundle, which indicates that although people use more outside Wi-Fi from their phone, they see Wi-Fi as an addition to their data bundle and not as a replacement, the latest report from Telecompaper showed. Four out ten Dutch people, who use mobile internet on their phones, saw internet consumption from their bundle go down and Wi-Fi use go up in the first six months of the year, according to data from the Telecompaper Consumer Panel and Telecompaper Dutch Mobile Tracker. This percentage has held steady from the year before while the number of people considering the reduction of their data bundle has even gone down. Around 6 percent of respondents who used less data from their bundle have in the past year lowered their mobile internet bundle, with 7 percent planning to take this step and a quarter considering it. An earlier Telecompaper study (February 2014) showed that 71 percent of all consumers sometimes use outside Wi-Fi, compared to 62 percent the year earlier. More men noticed how their use of Wi-Fi hotspots drove down their use of mobile data (43% of men vs 38% of women). In terms of age groups, more youth are opting for Wi-Fi as opposed to using up their data bundle.
