Europe's broadband subscribers more willing to pay for content
New research published by Jupiter Research shows that broadband subscribers in Europe are more willing to pay for web-based content than narrowband users. The report found that whereas only 18 per cent of narrowband users would be prepared to pay for downloadable music, 25 per cent of broadband users would consider paying for the service. For downloading films, 18 percent of broadband subscribers would be prepared to pay, compared to 11 per cent of users with a narrowband connection. A large minority of users however, whatever their connection speeds, are still unwilling to pay for content. Some 41 per cent of those surveyed stated that all content on the Internet should be free of charge, down from 47 per cent this time last year.
