The advent of new mobile and wireless network technologies, the panoply of devices and the array of content types present mobile operators as well as content providers with serious challenges related to multimedia content distribution. This paper compares four feasible business model configurations for multimedia content distribution platforms that may deal with these challenges, focusing on the requirements for mobile operators and content providers, the impact on content distribution architectures and the implications for value propositions towards end users.

Clinical studies are often conducted as multi-centered studies involving participants at different locations. Thus it becomes obvious that using mobile platforms and remote data entry is beneficial for such studies. When working in a distributed fashion, data exchange standards are required. Bringing these standards to the end user also requires incorporating user interface issues. Considering various device types, from desktop computer to small handheld devices raises the question how user interfaces could be derived from the data exchange standards. In this paper we consider CDISC's operational data model as a data standard and discuss its relevance in the user interface generation process. Several candidate description languages are explored and embedded into a general transformation process emphasizing especially small and mobile device characteristics.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is increasingly being adopted by private and public enterprise to track and monitor humans for location-based services (LBS). Some of these applications include personal locators for children, the elderly or those suffering from Alzheimer's or memory loss, and the monitoring of parolees for law enforcement, security or personal protection purposes. The continual miniaturization of the GPS chipset means that receivers can take the form of wristwatches, mini mobiles and bracelets, with the ability to pinpoint the longitude and latitude of a subject 24/7/365. This paper employs usability context analyses to draw out the emerging ethical concerns facing current humancentric GPS applications. The outcome of the study is the classification of current state GPS applications into the contexts of control, convenience, and care; and a preliminary ethical framework for considering the viability of GPS location-based services emphasizing privacy, accuracy, property and accessibility.

Developing new types of popular mobile services has turned out to be a challenging exercise. Our study examines the development of a business-to-business (B2B) mobile service into a business-to-consumer (B2C) service, in this case a moblog service for tourists. We focus on how the product development process can be enhanced and redirected through active user involvement. We came across a number of commercially important issues in this pilot study. Our experiences indicate that user involvement can be a fruitful albeit demanding operation for product developers. Interaction between product developers and users prompted changes in product development.

The Mobile Organic Certification (MobiCert) project investigates the use of mobile technology for primary producers in organic certification in remote and rural Australia. The goals of the MobiCert project are to create a theoretical model for mobile device-based information access and provision and to develop and test a prototype mobile commerce interface for organic certification information access /provision in remote and rural areas. It is the pilot project in the SAmCom (Sustainable Agriculture m-Commerce) project framework, which aims to enhance the information access and provision for primary producers through m-Commerce. In this paper we present an overview of the organic certification world wide (especially in Australia) and the existing software solutions to aid primary producers; followed by the theoretical model for the MobiCert project, which will be validated during the next stage of the project.

This paper takes a look at Clayton Christensen 's theory of disruptive technologies and how Christensen's theory relates to other innovation theories. It also proposes a new layer of analysis to this theory to better link the technology analysis to the market analysis of any given technology product. This layer suggests that complementarity and substitutability are important criteria for technologies to be market disruptions or sustaining changes.

Most new entrants into the mobile commerce marketplace are faced with a paradox; how can we attract users without merchants, and how can we attract merchants without customers? Without a huge investment in marketing to build consumer recognition, starting a new m-commerce service is risky. In this paper we analyse how successful companies on the Web have managed to create successful payment services by utilising the brand recognition and ubiquity of the popular card networks. Attempts to marry credit cards and mobile phones are not new - encrypted phone wallet systems have been bundled with devices for a number of years. However, use of these wallet systems remains limited as the public failed to embrace shopping via WAP, frustrated by slow speeds and poor user interfaces. With mobile terminals more suited for browsing, and higher speeds from mobile data becoming the norm, we present a system to enable remote macropurchases using existing credit card technology.

Business agility is a relatively new concept in management that has been developed in response to the turbulence of today's marketplace. In this paper we explore the question of how mobile technology can be used as an enabler of organizational agility. To address this question, we use an exploratory research approach that employs grounded theory combined with multiple case studies. Using the Sambamurthy et al. agility framework, we explore more than 100 case studies. Our findings include clusters of agility- enhancing benefits that emerge from using mobile technology in an organizational context.

There is an increase in the use of mobile devices in business applications. However, mobile support services in such applications generally are usually not strongly integrated with business functions and mobility is often seen as an add-on capability. Consequently the use of mobile devices is often ad-hoc in nature and not closely integrated into the application. This paper describes a way to identify reusable services to support mobility in business applications. It emphasis that integration must support mobility within the application context and concentrates on setting up context sensitive communications in mobile environments.

Location-based services (LBS) have been of keen interest to the m-business community for a number of years. However, applications deployed on a large scale have been slow in emerging - most existing systems are research prototypes or specialised niche applications, whose development has concentrated on exploring technical possibilities rather than commercial success. In this paper we report the results of a study to identify candidate killer-apps for LBS. The method used was to produce outline descriptions of 9 applications in 7 different consumer application areas, and survey users to obtain feedback on their level of interest in 7 of these. The most popular idea amongst surveyed users was Wired-Call Rates, where calls from a mobile phone would be charged at the same rates as wireline calls, when located in specified areas (for example at home). Other applications of interest were mainly those where LBS provides an addition to an existing service.
