1,6 million or 36 % of Finns have a radio on their cell phone!
Posted by Salraz in Cell phone, Interesting, Radio
According to Finnpanel 1,6 million Finns (older than 9 years) have a radio on their cell phone. You might say "that´s not much", but that is actually 36 % of the finnish population (in 2005 the figure was 17 %).
Other figures from the newlu released research say 16 % use the radio on their cell phone weekly. I was little suprised about that radio usage was most popular for kids under 15 years of age and when at the same time 60 % of 15-24 years old have a radio on their cell phone.
Well what does this mean? You propably know the song "Video killed the radio star"? Excellent song! Maybe we will have a new song "Cell phone resurrected the radio star :-)
