Teenage girls and boys are sending, receiving, posting, and sharing naked or barely-clothed photos at an alarming rate. According to a survey released by The National
Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy and CosmoGirl.com, parents and teens have a lot to be concerned about.
Photo sharing technology, social networking services, and MMS make it easier than ever before for people of any age to send photos that can come back to haunt them.
In 2007, 91% of US 17-year-old girls had mobile phones whereas only 78% of US 17-year-old boys had cell phones according to a recent study by MultiMedia Intelligence. The difference is quite striking as there is little difference in handset ownership between the genders at age 13, with 57 percent of teenagers having cell phones.
Key findings regarding teen wireless subscribers include:
• The US 12-17 teen cellular subscribers surpassed 16 million in 2007. This is up 12% from 2006.
•
By 2012, the number of teen mobile subscribers will reach 17 million, a delta
of only 1 million subscribers from 2007. Wireless penetration rates for
teens are reaching saturation, resulting in stagnating growth. Since
the teen market is not a multiple handset demographic, subscriber
growth is forced to slow.
• Subscriber growth is seasonal, with Q3 and Q4 the stronger quarters.
• The Hispanic teen market has become significant, projected to approach 3 million subscribers by 2012.
