Market researcher comScore says its cross-media panel of PC and mobile Internet users in the U.S., found that light PC Internet users are 30 percent more likely than heavy PC Internet users to use their mobile devices to access Internet content.
In total, 42 million people used their mobile devices in October 2008 to access news and information content on the Internet. That’s an increase of 57 percent from October 2007, says comScore.
The study found that 15.2 percent of light PC Internet users accessed news and information on their mobile device at least once per week, compared to a lower 11.7 percent of heavy PC Internet users. The study also found that mobile Internet users are more likely to be male (58 percent) and to be 18 to 44 years of age. Light mobile Internet users are heavier users of the PC.
ComScore defined “heavy” PC Internet users as those who viewed, on average, 6,701 pages in the month, and “light” users as those who viewed, on average, 1,104 pages in the month. Twenty percent of PC Internet users in the cross-media panel were classified as heavy users, and accounted for 43 percent of overall page views, while 50 percent were light users and accounted for 18 percent of page views. The balance was classified as medium users.
The study was conducted using a sample of individuals who were members of comScore’s PC panel of online users and who were also participants in comScore’s monthly mobile survey. The findings above represent digital media usage for the three-month average ending October 2008.
