INTERNET USERS MAINLY CURIOUS CLAIMS REPORT

November 27, 1998

Research by Inteco shows that the
primary motivation for new Internet users
deciding to go online is curiosity. Inteco has
indicated that other reasons for connecting
to the Internet are educational aspirations,
pressure from children and a fear of being
'left behind'. E-mail is expected to increase
as a motivator, although respondents
showed concern about its privacy. And online
commerce is rapidly growing in popularity,
according to a recent study by Jupiter
Communications and NFO Worldwide. The
study was designed to define the Internet
shopper and had beenbased on consumer
surveys, including 50,000 online and offline
households. Of the people who surf the
Internet, 35% have made an online purchase
last year and most plan to do it again soon
but the remainder, who didn't purchase, were
less likely to purchase soon, and cite price,
not security, as a primary concern. And
British Internet company Star says that
according to a new survey, e-commerce
transaction use is set to soar over the next
year with around a quarter of all businesses
moving to get e-commerce aware.
