ABSTRACT

The objective of this paper is to identify the effectiveness of mobile phone music services. We define the effectiveness as benefits/costs that mobile phone music services give us. Initial factors related to cost and benefit are derived through prior research. The type of mobile phone music services is classified into ringtone, ring-back tone, and music file downloading. An exploratory survey was used to gather the data for this study. Respondents rates each statement on a seven-point Likert-type scale. We perform a factor analysis and statistical analysis to derive significant factors and items. Through a sensitivity analysis, this paper suggest a plan to increase the effectiveness of mobile phone music services by each factor. The result shows that ring-back tone service and ringtone service are both effective. Particularly the ringback tone service is more effective than the ringtone service. The downloading service is not effective because the cost value is higher than the benefit value. We can conclude it is necessary to decrease the purchasing price of music files in order to increase the overall effectiveness of mobile phone music services.
