The way consumers ingest broadcasting is dynamical rapidly, with 70 proportionality of viewers today streaming, downloading, or watching recorded broadcasts on a weekly basis and half accessing on-demand TV or videos via the cyberspace at small erst a week.

Those are among the findings in a new conceive released Aug. 25 by the ConsumerLab investigate group at Nordic telecom equipment concern Ericsson (ERIC). Conducted in heptad countries (China, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, the U.K., and the U.S.) with a distribution representing 300 meg people, the analyse is conception of Ericsson's current efforts to understand how consumers behave and what they conceive of telecommunications and media.

The conceive findings confirm that patterns of media activity are undergoing a field transformation, thanks especially to the Internet, ambulatory networks, and the emergence of digital devices much as the Apple (AAPL) iPad tablet.

To be sure, whatever 93 proportionality of respondents ease check customary regular TV broadcasts at small erst a week. But a ontogeny number are rigorous the ability to consume TV noesis when and where they poverty it—at a later date, via time-shifting digital recording recorders (DVRs) or on-demand services, and on devices another than tralatitious TVs, much as ambulatory phones or laptops. In what's probable beatific programme for gizmos much as the iPad, 37 proportionality of respondents said they would be interested in using a paper in union with their TVs.

"Consumption is fragmented and complex," said Anders Erlandsson, Senior Advisor at Ericsson ConsumerLab, in a advise promulgation most the analyse findings. "There are whatever ingrained activity patterns, and it's a trial-and-error market with lots of peculiarity around it."

The conceive identified whatever anomalies between consumer outlay and usage patterns. For instance, respondents shell discover an average of €38 ($48) per period for TV services—broadcast (cable, satellite, DSL), pay-per-view, and on-demand. Broadcast accounts for 60 proportionality of their amount outlay, while on-demand is just 37 percent.

Yet of the 25 hours per week, on average, that consumers country watching TV, only 43 proportionality is on broadcast or payment services, while 55 proportionality is time-shifted or on-demand TV. Ericsson argues that this notch in "wallet share" between what customers country for and how they ingest TV augurs a agitate in forthcoming outlay patterns that service providers staleness look and exploit. "It is country that consumers are not paying for what they ingest the most," the consort said in its advise release.

What are the opportunities highlighted in the survey? Ericsson found that more than 50 proportionality of respondents would like to connect their PCs to their TVs to check online video—from sources much as YouTube (GOOG) and others—or to view photos or browse the Web on a large screen, more comfortably, and with groups of people. Yet making much connections today can be frustratingly complex.

Another key finding: 40 proportionality of respondents say that "immediate access" to chosen noesis is very important to them, suggesting a agitate from owning videos to accessing programming on demand.

Most importantly, Ericsson says that service providers staleness devise ways to align consumer outlay and usage. Thanks to the "everything should be free" cyberspace mindset and a ontogeny agitate to TV activity on PCs, tralatitious service providers risk sight the continuance of their offerings diminished. Yet, "if done right," Ericsson argues, "consumers will apportion their TV outlay to new alternatives."
