--(www.USEquityNews.com)-- 09/18/2008 - Business Services industry alert provided by U.S. Equity News. comScore, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital world, recently released results from a study of online visitation to multimedia Web sites in Brazil. The multimedia category includes sites offering video, music, and other entertainment-based applications. The study showed that while Brazilian Internet users tend to visit multimedia sites as frequently as the rest of the world, an indicator of high potential demand for the content on these sites, they spend considerably less time on average on these sites due to technological impediments. "As a developing Internet market, Brazil still has relatively low broadband penetration, which tends to inhibit extended periods of engagement with multimedia content because of the slow download speed," said Alex Banks, comScore managing director of Latin America. "However, Brazilian Internet users' frequent visits to the site category indicate strong latent consumer demand, meaning that as broadband penetration rates in Brazil increase, the time spent engaging with this content can be expected to rise considerably."
