The research predicts music subscription services will increase by over 60% between 2011 to 2015, which will see individual track downloads from outlets such as iTunes losing their market share. Digital music analyst at Ovum, Mark Little, commented: 'Digital music will experience what might appear to be healthy growth over the next five years, but there's a danger this could mask the fact that the industry isn't maximising revenue potential... There's too much free music available, and not just the illegal kind. Free internet radio such as Pandora or Grooveshark, and freemium on-demand music services such as Spotify, are offering music without maximising advertising or premium subscription revenues for themselves or the industry' The research by Ovum also revealed that the growth in individual tracks downloaded from digital music stores slowed in the US to 3% during 2010. This decline is likely to be mirrored in Europe. This further indicates that the industry is still unable to cope with the huge amount of free music available online. http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/InformationTechnologyMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Research-Suggests-Subscription-to-Give-Major-Boost-to-Digital-Music-Downloads-00032 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/InformationTechnologyMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Research-Suggests-Subscription-to-Give-Major-Boost-to-Digital-Music-Downloads-00032 Advertising body ISBA has released the results of their annual Digital Action Group survey, which demonstrates that brands are set to significantly reallocate their digital ad budgets this year to expand their online rewards strategy. The ISBA market research showed that attribution measurement is now the top priority for brands in 2011 as they look to develop their online reward channels. The traditional last-click-wins approach is to be replaced in favour of a more accurate models gain ground through advancements in tracking technology. Head of ISBA's Digital Action Group and Head of Digital Marketing at the Post Office, Alex Tait, commented: 'More than ever, advertisers are realising that rewarding just the provider of the last click doesn't make a lot of sense... As digital channels have matured, from being the converter to a way of reaching new audiences, this older world of direct response is colliding with other media and calls for a more holistic way of understanding the customer's journey.' Major brands such as Boden, British Airways, John Lewis, Sony and Virgin Atlantic are now actively evolving their online rewards model as they reassess the influence of each stage of the consumer buying process. http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/InformationTechnologyMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Major-Brands-Change-Last-Click-Wins-Strategy-to-Enhance-Online-Rewards-00034 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/InformationTechnologyMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Major-Brands-Change-Last-Click-Wins-Strategy-to-Enhance-Online-Rewards-00034 A new study has shown that home broadband users are getting much slower speeds when using WI-FI compared to a fixed line connection. The research, carried out by network measurement company Epitiro, ran one million tests over 14,000 WI-FI connections in the UK, US, Spain and Italy. The results showed they produced a 30% drop-off compared to the actual speed coming into the home. Iain Wood from Epitiro said that their researchers were 'surprised" by the amount of drop-off in speed but that the majority of consumers would not notice the slower connection because web surfing uses up relatively small amounts of data. He commented: "Most of us do e-mailing and web surfing and for these things there is precious little difference between the 50Mb/s services and an 8Mb/s service." However, users who enjoy downloading video or watching IPTV would find the speed degradation more noticeable. The results of the study also suggest that users are prepared to tolerate slower speeds in exchange for the freedom that WI-FI allows. Mr Wood explained: "People are voting with their feet and trading speed for the benefits of mobility." http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/InformationTechnologyMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Research-Shows-WI-FI-Significantly-Slows-Home-Broadband-Speeds-00035 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/InformationTechnologyMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Research-Shows-WI-FI-Significantly-Slows-Home-Broadband-Speeds-00035 A new survey by Broadbandchoices.co.uk, a website accredited by communications regulator Ofcom, has uncovered a rise in consumer frustration with broadband speeds for the fourth year in a row. More than one third of the 10,000 people surveyed said they were dissatisfied with the service they received ' this increase compares to less than 30% last year and just 16.2% in 2008. The release of these latest statistics follow Ofcom's recent report which revealed consumers' actual broadband speeds are still less than half the average speed advertised by broadband providers. Product Director at Broadbandchoices.co.uk, Michael Phillips, commented: 'Broadband providers have marketed their services on speed-led messaging in their efforts to out-do each other, but the speeds experienced by the end user simply aren't living up to these promises.' He added, 'Since 2007, we have been pushing for 'typical speeds' to be made the gold standard for speed measurement, in the same way that banks use 'typical APR' percentages. Until this happens, consumers will continue to be misled by broadband providers' claims of what speeds are technically feasible compared to what they will receive in the real world ' and resentment over this issue will continue to grow.' While Ofcom's recent report also revealed that overall average speeds have improved in recent months, high-speed broadband for most Britons is in fact still years away. http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/InformationTechnologyMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Survey-Shows-Britons-Increasingly-Fed-Up-With-Broadband-Speeds-00045 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/InformationTechnologyMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Survey-Shows-Britons-Increasingly-Fed-Up-With-Broadband-Speeds-00045 A poll of 1,007 iPad owners in the UK, conducted for YouGov/Seven Publishing, has revealed how the device has changed media consumption habits. http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/InformationTechnologyMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Poll-Reveals-How-the-iPad-Has-Changed-Media-Consumption-00051 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/InformationTechnologyMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Poll-Reveals-How-the-iPad-Has-Changed-Media-Consumption-00051 Customer behaviour analysis company Tealeaf has carried out a survey which shows that over 10 million UK consumers last year made a buying transaction on their mobile device.
