Abstract

Leung and Antypas (2001) defined mobile business (m-business) as both “content delivery (notification and reporting) and transactions (purchasing and data entry) on mobile devices”. Another term often used for m-business is “wireless e-commerce”, as such business activities often leverage wireless and Internet technologies.m-business will grow to $200 billion worldwide by 2004, and the number of U.S. m-business users will grow to 29 million (Kelly, 2001).
