ellementK: (ĕll'ǝ-mǝnt-kā)
noun - A fundamental, essential, or irreducible constituent of a composite entity. Middle English, from Old French, from Latin About Eleanor Kruszewski: I'm known variously as Eleanor or Elle. My last name is like that coach from Duke - kru-shef-ski. Based in Menlo Park, CA, I work for Yahoo! in their Developer Network. The easiest description of what I do is the MBA shin kicker, handling community, marketing, commercial programs and sundry backend stuff. Disclaimer: I've done big corps, midcorps, and startups, so I overstate and oversimplify as much as anyone else. These opinions are my own, not my employer's. |
« Microsoft and Sun report on progress of collaboration | Main | Microcommerce Viable, Gartner says » Growing consumer reliance on cellphonesSo while in an earlier post I mention consumer willingness to pay for tech and communications, today I ran across a study from mid-November discussing the shift from landline to wireless calls among consumers.
The difference here is one of thrift - many mobile plans include long distance service. Perhaps another factor is the increasedly hectic schedule of people, where they instead choose to place long-distance calls when it is convenient - not necessarily when they are at home. In a world where there are many emerging applications competing for consumer dollars, the landline long distance market seems a sure loser, something which big long distance players AT& and Sprint have realized. |
