Since 2004, broadband connections across Europe have grown by almost 95%, from 44 million households in 2005 to over 85 million. In fact, broadband Internet connections in Europe today outstrip those in the US, representing 83% of all Internet connections, compared to 70% in America. The explosion in broadband uptake combined with the relentless pace of technological innovation is driving a major change in consumer behaviour and is transforming our traditional media landscape. In this report, Microsoft analyses the differences in broadband penetration levels across Europe, examines the causes fuelling the growth of Internet adoption, assesses the impact of consumers’ evolving online behavior, and predicts the online trends of the future.

Windows Live Messenger is the number
1 free Instant Messenger service with
320 million people around the world
exchanging 8.2 billion messages per day.
Windows Live Hotmail is the number
one mail service with 271 million e-
mails sent across the globe every day.
On its own, the Windows Live
Messenger user base is larger than any
of the top three social networking sites
and if the Windows Live user
community was a country, it would be
the third-largest in the world – with
nearly half a billion “residents”.

A growing volume of mobile phone users will watch video or TV
programming on their handsets over the next five years. The
bulk of these mobile video viewers will be casual in their usage,
watching short and long-form content for free. Video capable
handsets will grow from just 31% of the installed base in 2008
to 76% of the installed base in 2013. Mobile browsing is
expected to grow from 19% adoption in 2008 to 30% in 2013.

Microsoft predicts 5 trends for the future
1. The 3 screens
We will see a concerted shift to
seamless PC, TV and mobile experiences
2. The Rise of Connected Entertainment
Seamless entertainment experiences
will bridge the gap between online and
offline: This will end the need to watch
TV in real-time as we shift to seamless
PC and TV experiences. Long form video
content and IPTV will become the norm
on a TV that is really, a PC. Consumers
will download movies and TV shows and
only access ‘live’ TV for big news and
sports events.

3. The whole web becomes social
Social connectivity will become commercial and advertising will become increasingly
personal: Online commerce will represent a larger share of overall consumer
spending. User generated content (UGC) online shopping experiences will provide
users with a relevant online experience. And businesses will be able to target
consumers with location relevant offers and services in real time
4. The 3D Internet:
The 3D Internet will become a reality, with consumers able to virtually experience a
holiday resort before they book, students will be able to attend virtual lectures and
shoppers will be able to see how an armchair would look in their living room before
they buy it.
5. The rise of Smartphones
Smartphones will stop being a category of their own, and become mainstream,
affordable choices. People will increasingly use mobiles as a natural first port of call
for web browsing, social networking, photo sharing, music, videos and other
dimensions of their digital lives. Mobile browsing is expected to grow from 19%
adoption in 2008 to 30% in 2013.
