χρεωσεις 131

Για όσους νομίζουν ότι οι πληροφορίες τηλεφωνικού καταλόγου του ΟΤΕ (πρώην 131) είναι με αστική χρέωση και είναι χαρούμενοι όταν χρησιμοποιούν την υπηρεσία αυτή για το πόσο γρήγορα τους εξυπηρετούν οι τηλεφωνήτριες, καλό είναι να ξέρουν ότι η χρέωση για την γραμμή πληροφοριών καταλόγου τύπου 11888 (πρώην 131) είναι 13 μονάδες για όση ώρα και αν διαρκέσει η κλήση.!!!
Δηλαδή κάθε τηλεφώνημα στο 11888 (πρώην 131) στοιχίζει 13 μονάδες έστω και αν τους καλέσατε από λάθος.

Αντίστοιχα στις εταιρείες που εχουν πάρει άδεια να δίνουν επίσης πληροφορίες τηλεφωνικού καταλόγου π.χ. την News phone Hellas στο νούμερο 11880 (και πολλοί μπερδεύουν με την αντίστοιχη 11888 του ΟΤΕ), εδώ έχουμε τις γνωστές εταιρείες 090.. όπου πληρώνεις τον ΟΤΕ (μια και το 30% σύμφωνα με την εταιρεία το καταβάλει αυτούσιο στον ΟΤΕ) και επιπλέον πληρώνεις την εταιρεία με χρονοχρέωση τύπου 090... για παράδειγμα ενός λεπτού τηλεφώνημα στην υπηρεσία τηλεφωνικού καταλόγου της News phone Hellas στοιχίζει 0,94 ευρώ και αν τώρα σου προτείνουν να σε συνδέσουν απευθείας με το τηλέφωνο που σου βρήκαν, τότε η χρέωση σου με το τηλέφωνο που σου κάλεσαν είναι 090... δηλαδή με την υπερυψηλή δική τους χρονοχρέωση...

Τα ίδια ισχύουν και για τα τετραψήφια μηνύματα που μας βομβαρδίζουν από τα κανάλια και τα ραδιόφωνα να στείλουμε ένα μήνυμα από το κινητό μας τηλέφωνο στο Χ τετραψήφιο νούμερο, όπου πολλοί και εδώ νομίζουν ότι είναι με χρέωση ενως απλού μηνύματος. Όμως η χρέωση είναι 1 ευρώ για κάθε μήνυμα δηλαδή 340,75 δραχμές.!!! Όπου και πάλι το μεγαλύτερο ποσοστό το παίρνουν οι του παρασκηνίου, τύπου ΟΤΕ που βρίσκονται πίσω από όλες αυτές τις υπηρεσίες.

How Women and Men Use the Internet

How Women and Men Use the Internet

Women are catching up to men in most measures of online life. Men like the internet for the experiences it offers, while women like it for the human connections it promotes

Summary of Findings

Shifting internet demographics: Women have caught up to men online.

Younger women and black women outpace their male peers. Older women lag dramatically.

The internet was dominated by men in its early days, but by 2000 and continuing on to
today, the user population has been evenly divided between men and women. Further, the
proportion of women online is nearly equal to that of men. A review of the findings of the
Pew Internet & American Life surveys between March 2000 and September 2005
highlights some particularly interesting trends and correlations: Young women are more
likely to be online than young men. And black women have surged online in the last
three years.

Pew Internet Project surveys between January and June in 2005 show that 67% of the
adult American population goes online, including 68% of men and 66% of women.

But women slightly outnumber men in the internet population because they make up
a greater share of the overall U.S. population.

Younger women are more likely than younger men to be online; older men are more
likely than older women to be online: 86% of women ages 18-29 are online,
compared with 80% of men that age. On the other hand, 34% of men 65 and older
use the internet, compared with 21% of women that age.

Black women are more likely than are black men to be online: 60% of black women
are internet users compared with 50% of black men.

Unmarried men are more likely than unmarried women to be internet users. 62% of
unmarried men compared with 56% of unmarried women go online. Married women
are slightly more likely than married men to be online. 75% of married women and
72% of married men go online.

Men without children under age 18 are more likely than women without children
under age 18 to be online. Some 61% of childless men compared with 57% of
childless women go online. Men and women with minor children are equally likely
to be online. Some 81% of men with children and 80% of women with children go
online.

This Pew Internet & American Life Project report is based on the findings of a variety of tracking surveys on Americans' use of the Internet between March 2000 and September 2005. All numerical data was gathered through telephone interviews conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates.
