I raised my children at a time when the Internet was shiny and new. At the outset, we didn’t understand the dangers for children online like we do today. We didn’t have online safety courses or parental control options.
Since then, innovation has yielded amazing products, services, and applications; but also enabled those with malicious motives. I can only look back and think about the number of arguments it would have saved me as a parent if I had parental controls to easily enforce “lights out” or “don’t go to that website.”
66 percent of subscribers will pay for a mobile app that filters content for kids
In part one of this series, we shared some information about a recent study we did with Moor Insights and some of the valuable insights we received from parents and grandparents about their top concerns for children online. More than 66 percent of the respondents were interested in a mobile app that helps them filter content for their children or grandchildren, and more than 62 percent are willing to pay between one and 10 dollars monthly for this type of service.
Don’t miss this competitive opportunity
Clearly, subscribers want this service—and if you don’t offer it, they can easily get it from a competitor. Why not build it into the solutions you are providing for Ultimate Wi-Fi? This will ensure your subscribers have the most amazing online experience possible, while also giving them the tools they need to manage online time for everyone at home.
