Please Help -> Little Market Research

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   Hello and a good day to you all! 
I'm a student at the NHTV University in The Netherlands and I'm writing my graduation thesis this summer. The subject of my thesis is the telecommunications market in South Africa.
I'd like to do some market research by interviewing people, but unfortunately my students income does not allow travelling to your country :( 
Therefore I hope you could help me answering these questions. 
1. What's your age?
2. Do you live in an urban or rural part of South Africa?
3. Do you own 1 or more than 1 mobile phone?
4. On a monthly basis, how often do you use your mobile phone(s)? (approximately.)
5. On a monthly basis, how much do you pay for your mobile phone bill?
6. Do you use your mobile phone(s) for private use, professional use or both?
7. Do you use a fixed line connection?
8. If so, how often per month?
9. On a scale of 1 to 10, how important is (mobile) phone access for you?
A beer for everyone who's kind enough to help me! 
Thanks everyone,
Regards,
Vincent van Baaten

	Forgot to say in my first reply that if you are doing market research there is a free computer program ConfTwoProp that will give you a confidence interval based on sample size. Download is at http://www.4shared.com/dir/6vUP2Vn9/sharing.html For Instance if 200 reply saying they have a cell and 45 say it is essential you can get a confidence interval for the percentage of people feeling a mobile phone is essential
