According to a recent FCC Vision panel study, producers are keeping up with the times when it comes to the use of new technology, specifically mobile devices. One third of Canadian producers say that they will try new technologies once they hear positive feedback from their peers. This is evidenced in the fact that producers have been as quick to purchase a smartphone as the Canadian population; one third of producers (29%) say that they own a smartphone which is consistent with the trend of the Canadian population in which thirty percent own a smartphone*. When it comes to using tablets, producers are also keeping up with the Canadian population as an equal amount of producers (6%) and Canadians (6%) own a tablet*.
