Nielsen Study Shows Minorities Lead Mobile Usage
A new survey from the Nielsen Company found that African-Americans and Hispanics are the largest consumers of mobile phone talk time and texting. The numbers correlate with a recent Pew study which also found that minorities have embraced mobile technology at levels higher than the national average.
From the survey:
African-Americans talk on their cell phones an average of 1,300 minutes per month, more than twice the 647 minutes averaged by whites. Hispanics were next, at 826 minutes per month, followed by Asians and Pacific Islanders at 692 minutes per month. Blacks and Hispanics were also the most like to send and receive text messages, averaging 780 and 767 per month respectively.
