3 GENERAL FRAMEWORK AND OBJECTIVES During the period October 2006 January 2007, The Gallup Organization Romania made a research which subscribes to ANRC s aim to monitor the tendencies in the behavior related to the use of Internet access services in order to analyze the changes in the structure and operation of the specific and relevant retail markets identified by ANRC. The objectives of this research were: percentage of consumers and the degree of using Internet access services at the companies level used providers of internet access services and barriers/reasons for changing the provider used internet access services and selection criteria monthly average expenses with such services the degree of acquaintance with the types of internet access services domains and habits for using internet services degree of satisfaction with the used internet access services intention to change the used services connection modality, bandwidth, reasons response to a price or tariff increase 3
4 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Researched Collectivity: active companies from Romania (which submitted their accounting balance sheet for 2005 and which have a turnover>0 RON) and public institutions. Total Volume of Collectivity: 394,581 companies and institutions (376,611 companies and 17,970 public institutions). Sampling Unit: a person from the management, who is in charge with making the decision regarding the acquisition of Internet access services. Sampling Volume: 1,078 companies and institutions using Internet access services. Sample Type: a probabilistic, stratified sample. Sampling: a representative sample built by using two stratification criteria: number of employees and turnover for The sample was constructed upon the basis of the statistical data provided by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania. The stratification process generated 25 cells. For each cell, a number of companies and institutions was selected at random, which number was high enough to reach the volume of the proposed volume of the sample of users. Companies were selected in two stages: in the fist stage, two filters were applied to the database of the Finance Ministry which includes the companies from Romania, which filters comply with the sampling criteria, and in the second stage a number of companies three times higher than quota set for each cell was extracted. In the case of public institutions, the selection was simple, at random, with no previous stratification of the database. All the selected companies and institutions had fixed telephone posts. Field inquiry: November 8 December 15,
5 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY For making this research, a representative sample was constructed at the level of the companies; through filtering such sample, the final sample of Internet users was obtained. The representative sample was used to obtain data regarding the penetration of Internet access services at the level of the entire collectivity. The sample of users was used to obtain data responding to the other objectives of the research. Interviews were conducted via the telephone, based on a standard questionnaire, applied by the interview operators specifically trained in this regard. The average duration of an interview was 8 minutes. The response rate for eligible companies (which meet the sampling criteria): Contacted companies of which: - inexistent number/private residence - refusal of selection questionnaire - ineligible companies (exceeded quota) Eligible Companies - person in charge could not be contacted - refusal of main questionnaire - no Internet Valid Main Questionnaires Response Rate for Main Questionnaire % This report, in a graphic format, presents the main results of this research. 5

7 RESEARCH REPORT
8 I. Degree of Penetration of Internet Access Services Inside Companies and Institutions
9 Degree of Penetration of Internet Access Services Inside Companies and Institutions 67% of the companies and institutions from Romania use Internet access services. The larger are the companies and institutions, the higher gets the penetration degree in using Internet access services, reaching 99% for the companies and institutions with more than 50 employees, and 95% for the public institutions and companies with a turnover in excess of EUR 1 million. Small companies (1-2 employees and a turnover below EUR 50,000) have the lowest penetration degree of using Internet access services, approximately 55%. When making an analysis per development regions, we note that there are significant variations of the penetration rate of using [Internet access services] from region to region. The companies and institutions from Bucharest and from the South [of Romania] have the highest penetration degree of using (75%, respectively 72%), while regions as South-West and West have a penetration rate below the average (60%, respectively 62%). Extrapolating this result to the collectivity subject to our research (active companies from Romania, which submitted their balance sheet for 2005 and have a turnover>0 RON, and public institutions), the result is that Internet access services are used in approximately 265,948 companies and institutions 9

13 II. Degree of Penetration of Data Transmission Services Inside Companies and Institutions
14 Degree of Penetration of Data Transmission Services Inside Companies and Institutions Only 12% of the companies and institutions from Romania use also data transmission services, generally to ensure a permanent and secured connection between branches, respectively headquarters. The larger are the dimensions of a company, the higher gets the penetration degree of using data transmission services, reaching almost 43% for the companies and institutions with more than 50 employees and 34% for the companies with a turnover in excess of EUR 1 million, respectively 31% for public institutions. Small companies (1-2 employees and a turnover below EUR 50,000) have the lowest penetration [rate] of using data transmission services, below 6%. 14

17 III. Endowment of Companies and Institutions with PCs and Computer Networks
18 Endowment of Companies and Institutions with PCs and Computer Networks The companies and institutions in which there is an Internet access connection have an average number of 7 computers. The number of computers is closely related to the number of employees, so that in the case of companies and institutions with 3-9 employees there are 4 computers on the average, and in the case of the companies and institutions with more than 50 employees, the number of computers may reach 36. Among the companies and institutions in which there is an Internet access connection, 69% have a computer network; this percentage varies again according to the number of employees. In this way, only 55% of the companies and institutions with 1-2 employees in which there is an Internet access connection have a computer network, while in the case of the companies and institutions with more than 50 employees, the percentage of those having their computers connected in a network grows to 95%. The average number of computers connected to a network is 8, a number which increases at the same time with the company size, from 3 (companies and institutions with 1-2 employees) to 33 (companies and institutions with more than 50 employees). Generally speaking, 80% of the computers existing in companies and institutions are connected in a network. The type of network through which such computers are connected is, in most of the cases, a Local Network LAN (86%), then a Metropolitan Network MAN (7%) and a Network between the central headquarters and subsidiaries - WAN (3%). On the average, 5 computers from a company or institution have Internet access, this number going to 25 computers in the case of the companies with more than 50 employees. 18
19 Endowment of Companies and Institutions with PCs and Computer Networks On the average, 75% of the computers in the companies and institutions with Internet access are connected to the Internet; this percentage varies according to the number of the employees of the company and institution, decreasing as the number of the employees decreases. This phenomenon is valid also upon analyzing the percentage of employees with Internet access from the total number of employees of the companies, respectively institutions. On the average, only 29% of their employees have Internet access; this percentage varies greatly according to the size of the company and institution, from 97% in the case of those with 1-2 employees to 18% in the case of those with more than 50 employees. 19

30 IV. Types of Internet Access Connections
31 Types of Internet Access Connections 36% of the companies and institutions with Internet access use a dial-up connection, mostly through a fixed telephone line (28%), and to a smaller extent through a mobile access ZAPP (4%) and ISDN line (4%). 67% of the companies and institutions with Internet access use a dedicated connection, mostly through fiber optic (25%) and TV cable (23%). The xdsl dedicated connection is only used by 9% of the companies and institutions. The higher the number of employees, slightly higher is also the percentage of dial-up connections through a traditional telephone line, but the percentage of using the CDMA mobile connection is lower. In the same context, at the companies and institutions with a dedicated connection, as their employees number increases, one can note a tendency of giving up the cable connection in favor of the fiber optic. In the case of companies and institutions with more than 50 employees, such tendency is obvious: 10% have a dedicated TV cable connection and 43% have a fiber optic connection. As a provider of dial-up connections, Romtelecom is present in 63% of the companies and institutions with this type of connection, followed by Zapp with 13% and RCS/RDS with 11%. The main provider for the companies and institutions that use the dial-up connection on a mobile line is Zapp with 67%, followed by Vodafone with 19%. As a provider of dedicated connections, RCS/RDS is present in 29% of the companies and institutions with this type of connection, followed by UPC (Astral) with 17% and Romtelecom with 12%. On the market of dedicated connections through TV cable, RCS/RDS and UPC (Astral) are the main providers for the companies and institutions that use this type of connection (41% RCS/RDS, respectively 35% UPC(Astral). The main provider for the companies and institutions that use the dedicated connection through fiber optic is RCS/RDS with 31%, followed by UPC (Astral) with 12%. 31

40 V. Expenses with Internet Access Services
41 Expenses with Internet Access Services Almost half (44%) of the companies and institutions spend below RON 100 per month on the average for the payment of subscriptions for Internet access services. In the last month, the average amount spent by companies and institutions with dial-up Internet access services was RON 163, and with dedicated Internet access services it was RON 256. The average amount paid by companies and institutions for the Internet access services in one month is RON 233. The monthly average expenses related to Internet access services are significantly higher for the companies and institutions with more than 50 employees (RON 698) and significantly lower for the companies with 1-2 employees (142 RON). When classifying the companies according to their turnover, one can note that a higher income of the company generates higher expenses with Internet access services, from RON 162 for the companies with a turnover below EUR 50,000 to RON 532 for the companies with a turnover in excess of EUR 1 million. Public institutions spend an average of RON 453 for Internet access services. 41

56 Description of Dial-up Access Connections and Their Degree of Use Out of the total dial-up internet access connections, 74% are classic dial-up, 12% through CDMA, 9% through ISDN and 4% through GSM/GPRS/WAP and 1% through 3G/EDGE. 60% of the companies and institutions with a dial-up internet access connection have only one account. 76% of the companies and institutions with a dial-up internet access connection have an unlimited access subscription, while 14% have a limited access or partially limited access subscription..the average number of hours included in the subscription is 41.5%. Only 1% of the companies and institutions use cards, respectively access value cards. The larger is the company, the higher is the percentage of the people using an unlimited access subscription (90% of the companies and institutions with more than 50 employees in which there is a dial-up access connection). For the representatives of the companies and institutions, it was quite difficult to estimate the average monthly number of hours of using internet dial-up access services, almost 60% of them saying that they do not know such number. Among the companies and institutions that mentioned a number of hours, a little more than 50% use internet access services less than 50 hours a month, while 8% say they use such services more than 200 hours. The average number [of hours] of using internet access services in case of dial-up connections is 78. The average amount spent in the last month for dial-up internet access connections is RON153 for fixed classic connections, RON 203 for ISDN connections, and RON 132 for mobile connections. The average monthly expenses related to dial-up internet access connections are significantly higher for the companies with more than 50 employees (253 RON). 56

65 VII.b. The Degree of Satisfaction with Providers of Dial-Up Internet Access Services
66 The Degree of Satisfaction with Providers of Dial-up Internet Access Services The most important elements to be considered when selecting a provider of dial-up Internet access services are network availability and log-in time, quality of technical support and intervention time, and subscription price. Contract negotiability and promotional offers are the elements that count the least when selecting the provider of Internet access services. Generally speaking, 63% of the companies and institutions are satisfied or highly satisfied with dial-up internet access services; however, their satisfaction degree only reaches a rating of 3.7 on a scale from 1 to 5. RDS/RCS, UPC (Astral) and Vodafone report slightly higher ratings (provider ratings must be reservedly considered, due to the low number of users). When analyzing step by step the satisfaction with the quality of services provided, ratings and evaluations are similar. 66
67 The importance of criteria when choosing the Internet dial-up service that is currently used When you chose the dial-up Internet service that you currently use how important were the following criteria for you? % Base: companies and institutions that use Internet dial-up connection, N = 388 5,0 4,3 71% 4,1 4,0 65% 65% 3,8 3,7 3,8 3,8 58% 57% 57% 56% 55% 3,6 3,5 3,5 51% 51% 4,0 3,0 2,0 Top 2 Box (% important + very important) average values (1 = not at all important... 5 = very important) Network availability (not busy when connecting) and log in waiting time Quality of technical assistance services and emergency troubleshooting waiting time The price of subscription Existence and availability of customer service Reputation of supplier Level of protection against virus, spam, hacking Phone calls tariffs Installation costs Flexibility of pricing and conditions (they could be negotiated) Promotions 1,0 67
68 Overall satisfaction with dial-up Internet access suppliers Overall, how satisfied are your with your Internet dial-up suppliers? Please use a scale from 1 to 5 where 5 = very satisfied and 1 = not at all. Base: companies and institutions that have dial-up Internet from the respective suppliers 100% 80% 60% 40% [N = 407] [N = 242] [N = 16] [N = 18] [N = 40] [N = 48] [N = 43] DK / NA Not at all satisfied Very satisfied 20% 0% All dial-up suppliers Romtelecom/ Artelecom UPC (Astral) Vodafone RDS-RCS Zapp Other suppliers 68

72 VII.c. Intentions to Change Providers or Types of Dial-up Internet Access Connections
73 Intentions to Change Providers or Types of Dial-up Internet Access Connections The main barriers encountered when changing the provider or the type of dial-up Internet access connection are the lack of local alternative (39%) and the inertia generated by convenience (22%). Only 9% of the mentions relate to not knowing other offers. 19% of the companies and institutions that currently have a dial-up internet access connection declare their intention to give such connection up in the next 12 months. 69% of those intending to give up are using dial-up internet access services provided by Romtelecom, 14% -by Zapp and 10% - by RCS/RDS. The type of connection to be given up is primarily classic dial-up (82% of the mentions, although classic dial-up services represent only 74% of dial-up connections). The intention to give up is stronger in case of small companies (with 1-2 employees) than in case of large companies. 13% of the companies that have 1-2 employees and have a dial-up internet access connection state that they will absolutely give this connection up in the next 12 months, as compared to 0 large companies (more than 50 employees). The main reason for giving up dial-up connection is the downloading speed that does not meet the user s needs, followed by the high tariffs as compared to the quality of services and to the instability of the connection which closes down often. 73
74 Intentions to Change Providers or Types of Dial-up Internet Access Connections The increase in the subscription price generates an intention to change the provider or the type of connection in case of an important percentage of the companies and institutions, to be more exact between 20% and 41%, if we include both the categorical intention to change and the probable intention. Upon an increase by 5% of the price for the subscription for dial-up internet access services, almost 30% of the companies and institutions state that they are not affected and that they will take no action to change their provider, while 12% express their categorical intention to give up the connection they are currently using. Upon an increase by 10%, the percentage of the companies and institutions that are categorically stating that they would give up the dial-up access connection is 17%, such percentage reaching even 24% in case of an increase in the subscription price by 20%. To an approximately equal extent, those intending to give up will either choose another provider keeping the type of Internet access connection, or will choose a dedicated Internet access connection When the price of telephone calls tariffs for dial-up Internet access increases, 31% of the companies and institutions will choose a dedicated connection, 8% will choose a mobile dial-up connection, while 6% of the companies and institutions will definitively give up Internet access services.. 74
75 Difficulties in changing the dial-up Internet supplier You indicated that you were not satisfied with the services of your current Internet supplier(s). Why have not given up their services so far? Base: companies and institutions not satisfied with a dial-up Internet supplier, (N=116) I do not have an alternative in my area 39% Out of convenience 22% All suppliers have high tariffs The cost of switching is too high Not aware of other offers 11% 10% 9% All suppliers offer a low service quality It takes a long time to install a dedicated connection Other 3% 2% 5% DK/NA 14% Multiple answer question 75
