據IDC估計至西元2010年,全球上線使用者人數(wired users)將達十億人之多。當Internet的應用日趨多元化,網路塞車(Congestion)的問題已成為Internet是否能進一步應用發展之重大阻力之一,為了解決諸此問題,因此寬頻(Broadband)網路正快速蓬勃發展中。本研究主要探討消費者在選擇購買與使用寬頻網路時所考慮之關鍵因素為何,並針對其顧客滿意度進行深入研究。研究對象為2002年8月1日至5日台北世貿資訊展的參觀民眾,採取系統抽樣方式進行問卷調查。本研究發現人口統計變數與購買行為有顯著性差異,而與滿意度則無;消費者購買行為則與滿意度有顯著性差異。
According to the IDC's forecast, the global wired users would grow up to more than one billion by 2010.
