From the Paper:

"The idea of m-commerce, which is short for 'mobile commerce,' is one whose time has truly come. Because there have been so many recent advances in wireless technology the number of individuals who use mobile devices has increased rapidly. E-commerce is often conducted on these devices and this is also moving at a rapid pace. There are several new types of e-commerce transactions and many of these use wireless telecommunications networks and other technologies to conduct business through mobile devices (Barnett, 2000). This has been called mobile commerce and is increasingly known as either m-commerce or mobile e-commerce (Barnett, 2000). There are many constraints and special characteristics related to mobile devices, and because of this mobile commerce is operating in an environment that is much different from transactions conducted over the Internet (Barnett, 2000). There are so many more market opportunities with mobile commerce because it can be personalized to an individual and it is much more flexible (Barnett, 2000)."
