Think About It
According to a new Oracle study, which surveyed more than 3,000 mobile phone consumers worldwide to examine their mobile phone use habits, interest in new mobile technologies and expectations for service providers, 69% of global mobile phone users report using a smartphone and 47% of mobile users have increased their data usage in the past year - a larger percentage than text or voice. But despite the widespread usage, security concerns linger, the report finds. While consumers are becoming more comfortable with location-based services and online banking, they have security concerns, and 69% of respondents indicate they do not believe, or are unsure, whether information stored or transmitted from their mobile device is secure.
