U.S. Youth and Young Adult Wireless Subscriber 2006-2010 Forecast: Still Powering Subscriber GrowthProduct Type: Market Research ReportPublished by: IDC Published: December 2006 Product Code: R104-28860 Description
This IDC study analyzes the U.S. youth and young adult mobile subscriber market, which is generally considered to be wireless users aged 5?24 years old. The youth and young adult market will continue to a key driver of U.S. subscriber growth and is projected to add over 23 million new users from 2005 to 2010. Youth and young adults are a key early adopter segment for mobile data services, and there are indications that 15- to 19-year-olds are now using more data services than 20- to 24-year-olds. In addition, the common age threshold for mobile device adoption now appears to be 11 years old, concurrent with the start of middle school. "The idea of 5-year-olds wearing mobile devices a few years from now is about as unthinkable today as the notion of 11-year-olds getting cell phones as standard back-to-school supplies was just two to three years ago," notes Scott Ellison, vice president of Wireless and Mobile Communications. "IDC predicts that if a child can dial a phone, that child will probably have his or her own mobile phone by the start of the next decade," he added.
