[Sigia-l] study says that web shoppers take their time

[Eric Reiss]

34 hours to complete an online purchase? Boy, that's one slow modem!

Seriously, I think the author is probably right that people are
window shopping. Here in Denmark, we're seeing fewer people shop from
work (where they enjoyed broadband) and now shopping from home as
broadband penetration has increased. Perhaps there is simply less
urgency to complete the task because of a change in venue.

Cheers,
Eric
