The Mobile Commerce Technologies: Generations, Standards and Protocols

Overview Mobile Commerce has staged a remarkable come-back. The collapse of the dot-com boom in 2001/2002 had dealt a severe blow not only to Electronic Commerce but also to Mobile Commerce, which was just about developing at that time. In addition to a general lack of customer demand for mobile, location-based, services, it suffered heavily under the technical deficiencies of end-devices, slow data transmission and unripe technological standards. These factors in turn had a negative impact on the customer acceptance of mobile services and whatever little demand was available, was rendered useless. This paper examines different telecommunication technologies regarding their suitability and deficiencies. It provides an overview over the historical development of mobile technologies while pointing towards the expected future scenario.
