The fundamental idea of the joint survey is to include a set of core questions in the questionnaires for the survey on the local Internet development conducted by each of the APIRA member organizations respectively. By this way, the survey methodology, content and time can be regarded as the same. (Or the survey criteria are the same) When the data from the core questions are collected and analyzed by APIRA member organizations (the survey conducting organizations), the survey results can be put together to compare at the point-to-point level. As such, members can benefit from the comparison results.
