Reactions
& Comments:
Approximately 46
percent of spending on telecommunications services is done locally. There is quite a mix of purchasing of
telecom services, many purchase exclusively in the county, but many purchase
nothing within the county.
No large
differences among income groups.
Very highest income levels seem to purchase a higher fraction of
services within the county.
Wider selection
of products seems to be more important to those who only purchase a moderate
amount of services within the county.
They respond that this is important more frequently than those who already purchase much of
their services within the county.
There is some evidence that product selection might be improved to get
more business from within the county.
Wider
availability of services responses shows evidence that those who only purchase
a portion of their services in the county respond that availibility is an
important factor in purchasing more.
This establishes some evidence that if products were available they
would be purchased.
