Abstract
Mobile radio technologies have seen a rapid growth in
recent years. Sales numbers and market penetration of
mobile handsets have reached new heights worldwide.
With almost two billion GSM users in June 2006, and
74.7 million users of third generation devices, there is a
large basis for business and product concepts in mobile
commerce (GSM Association, 2006). Penetration rates
average 80%, even surpassing 100% in some European
countries (NetSize, 2006).
The technical development laid the foundation for
an increasing number of mobile service users with
high mobile Web penetrations. The highest is seen in
Germany and Italy (34% for each), followed by France
with 28%, while in the U.S., 19% account for mobile
internet usage (ComScore, 2006). One of the largest
growing services is mobile games, with 59.9 million
downloaded in 2006 (Telephia, 2006).
Compared to the overall availability of handsets,
the continuing high complexity and dynamic of mobile
technologies accounts for limited mobile service
adoption rates and business models in data services.
Therefore, particular aspects of mobile technologies as
a basis of promising business concepts within mobile
commerce are illustrated in the following on three
different levels: First on the network level, whereas
available technology alternatives for the generation of
digital radio networks need to be considered; second, on
the service level, in order to compare different transfer
standards for the development of mobile information
services; third, on the business level, in order to identify
valuable application scenarios from the customer
point of view
