Review your project details
Early Findings
GOALS
Identify trends related to the increased presence and use of mobile data/internet for transactions, mobile calling/texting, and other mobile uses in Bermuda, Bahamas, Barbados, the British Virgin Islands (BVI), the Turks and Caicos Islands (T&CI), and the Cayman Islands in order to inform a new business pitch.
Locate and provide data on the behavioral economics and the future state of mobile usage for transactions, calling/texting, etc. in Bermuda, Bahamas, Barbados, the British Virgin Islands (BVI), the Turks and Caicos Islands (T&CI), and the Cayman Islands in order to build hypotheses regarding customer experience and growth in the mobile insurance space.

PROPOSED NEXT STEPS
Because we were able to locate Hootsuite's free "
Global State of Digital in 2019
" report, mobile usage statistics for each of the countries listed were easy to come by. However, in order to address each country in full, we suggest proceeding with an additional project for each country in specific. Each request can use this and other similar studies to analyze mobile phone usage, potential growth, and use cases in each of the countries provided. The report also contains information on annual digital growth, populations and economy, internet use, social media use, search queries, etc. for each country listed above, which could be of importance. As there are six different countries in question here, it would have to be a separate request for each (18 hours, $522).
