Hispanics and Other Ethnic Markets Will Spend $56 Billion on Telecommunications, says Insight Research Corp.

BOONTON, N.J., March 10 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- In 2009, U.S. ethnic communities will spend $56.6 billion on telecommunications services, accounting for nearly one-third of all residential telecom expenditures, according to a new market research study from The Insight Research Corporation. The largest minority group, Hispanics, representing 15.7 percent of the total U.S. population, will spend the most. The ability to tap into the increased spending power of the Hispanic-American, African-American, and Asian-American communities will be crucial to the survival of telecommunications providers over the next five years.

Insight Research's market analysis study, "US Hispanic Use of Telecommunications Services 2009-2014," takes a close look at the purchasing habits and telecommunications usage patterns of the Hispanic segment of the U.S. population. The study emphasizes that the U.S. Latino market tends to over-index in mobile content consumption. The study further reports that 64.2 percent of all Hispanic respondents now have cell phones, that Hispanics' average monthly household expenditures on cell phone service was more than 55 percent higher than the average household spend on wireline services, and that they are avid users of mobile phone technology.

"The Obama presidential campaign successfully tapped the power of technology to get out the vote-especially in our minority communities," says Robert Rosenberg, Insight Research. "Our study demonstrates that Hispanics are one of the most social groups online. There are over 20 million Hispanics online today, they continue to grow faster than other groups, and they are more youthful, which makes them a prime target for the newer 3G and 4G cellular services," Rosenberg concluded.

"US Hispanic Use of Telecommunication Services 2009-2014" examines spending and usage patterns of US Hispanics for wireline, calling cards, cellular, and pre-paid cellular services, and compares these spending patterns to those of the general population as well as other minority segments, including Asian-Americans and African-Americans.

Lexmark X9350 Wireless Office All-in-One with Duplex

Lexual Harrassment

There used to be this girl who worked in our office—great kid, smart as heck, super helpful. When you gave her an assignment, she’d just run with it. No complaining. No procrastinating. No checking back every half hour to ask a dumb question about how to work around whatever minor obstacle she’d encountered.

Sure, sure, they say there are no stupid questions. Whoever “they� are, they didn’t have interns. One kid came upstairs once to tell us he’d used up all the letterhead, and would it be OK if the rest of the shareholder letters went out on this goldenrod paper he found?

We had none of that with this girl. Karen was her name. She was a problem-solver. An initiative-taker. A go-getter. An obtainer of rare antiquities.

She reminded us, in a lot of ways, of the Lexmark X9350. No hassles, no laborious set-up when it’s time to get to work, just: Boom. On it. Getting the job done.

Like how the X9350 will connect to an Ethernet or a wireless network. It doesn’t care, however works best for you. You’re the boss.

And how it’s always at the ready for a variety of jobs: Printing, copying, scanning, even faxing. Like Karen. She wouldn’t give you any static about faxing. Some of our less helpful assistants, they’d be like: “Faxing? Really? Do people still do that? Well, alright, but wouldn’t it be better if I just emailed it? I’m not sure I even know how to fax something.�

But not Karen. And not the Lexmark X9350. They’re just on the case, no guff, no problemo, no questions asked.

You need that kind of help in the office, you know? Flexible help. You want to print from your camera via a Bluetooth connection? Sure thing. Or print directly from a USB drive? Or a memory card? You betcha, right away.

Another thing that Karen and the X9350 had in common: Both endured creepy, inappropriate romantic overtures from Luke, who worked in billing. That Luke was a weird dude. And he was apparently really, really into that compact, boxy body type that Karen and the Lexmark shared. So that was why Karen eventually left. It’s also why the optional 150-sheet paper tray on our X9350 is broken, according to the latest rumors surrounding our Holiday Party.
