Owner-operator smartphone users overwhelmingly access the Web daily, with more than 75 percent saying they access every day and more than 20 percent saying they’re constantly connected to the Web, according to Overdrive’s 2014 Connectivity Study.
Nearly 40 percent reported using their smartphone multiple times per day to access the Web and another 19 percent saying they access at least once daily with their phone.
Mobile is also the most popular way for Overdrive readers to access the Web, with 42.2 percent saying they most often access the Web via mobile. Not far behind, however, is home access, with 41.9 percent of respondents saying connecting at home is how they most often access the Web. The other two ways are office access (10.6 percent), and truck stop access (4.2 percent).
Responses to the more general question “Where do you access the Internet?” were similarly dominated by home access and mobile access, with 73 percent saying they have used the Web at home and 62 percent saying they access the Web with a mobile device. Twenty-eight percent of readers report accessing the Web at their office and 23 percent say they have used the Web at truck stops.
