Abstract
The future of mobile telephony is closely linked to services. Users are required to purchase new phones with new technical features for the large-scale diffusion of service platforms and the adoption of increasingly advanced services. The survey in this paper indicates, however, that services are not such an important reason for consumer purchases of new mobile phones. In this paper, the authors have chosen a different approach, in which they look at the reasons consumers have bought their recent mobile phones in Finland. Instead of relying on the hopes and expectations of the future, they focus on individual consumer interpretations of past behavior. The paper, first, briefly describes the peculiarities of the Finnish mobile market.Then it looks at how the survey was carried out and what kinds of results were obtained. Finally it discusses the relevance of the results for the evolution of mobile services. The paper includes tables.

From the Paper
"The visions of mobile telephony are closely linked to services, gaming, multimedia and mCommerce. For the large scale diffusion of these innovations and applications, users are required to purchase new phones with new features (Kalakota & Robinson 2002, Lindmark 2002). GPRS, Java and Symbian applications are new parts of the contemporary infrastructure in Europe, but even this infrastructure is going to evolve rapidly in the near future. This means that a user with a phone bought today is not likely to be able to take full advantage of the state-of-the-art mobile features and services a few years from now. Correspondingly, the new features and services will not be commercially successful if only few consumers purchase appropriate phones."

"The evolution beginning in 1995 from the "old fashioned," burdensome hands on order processing of Mobil Oil Lubricants Division took three tries and refinements to finally accomplish. There was a generous proportion of "wheel spinning," before they finally got the EDI systems where they needed them to be."

Abstract
This informative paper discusses the pros and cons to the recent approach in employment known as the freelancer or mobile worker. Among the advantages of being mobile is the flexibility and freedom offered versus being tied down to a formal office. Freelance and mobile workers are viewed as more projects oriented and flexible enough to fit into almost any situation employers can imagine. This paper explores the cost saving elements in outsourcing which is in fact more profitable, resulting in savings that are passed on to the consumer. This paper also describes the staffing process for mobile workers, which is a simple plan of screening applicants from various sources, as well as the pitfalls to avoid.
Topics covered in this report include:

From the Paper
"Among the advantages of being, mobile or working from an undefined location is the freedom being offered versus the tied down to a formal office, sales or various other locations. By this, it means that the "Mobile Worker," quite often works from either their homes or their vehicles and more often than not some combination of the two. Furthermore, this freedom has great assets to offer the worker where it comes to having time to spend with family at critical junctures in their daily lives. This one advantage alone for many makes this form of working the career path of choice and the workforce in this area is growing exponentially monthly consequently."

Abstract
This paper discusses the many industries that have already adopted the mobile worker model and the new technology that has facilitated the development of mobile offices and fully mobile workers, particularly in the finance and IT sectors. It mentions the benefits mobility has for the worker, such as personal freedom, industry/knowledge relevance and schedule flexibility. If the mobile worker's productivity can be effectively managed by the use of communication devices and an organizational culture of accountability, the mobile worker can be just as effective at his or her job as the traditional office employee.

Mobile Phone Users, 2005.
A small observational study of mobile phone users.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This study focuses upon observations of mobile phone use and the ways in which users employ their mobile phones while socially involved in a group or pair. The controversial technological determinist Marshall McLuhan claimed that ?all media work us over completely? (McLuhan, 2001:26). The aim of this paper is to investigate to what extent this is true with regard to the mobile phone and to look at how users select calls when in the presence of others using the affordances and constraints of the technology. The degree to which the mobile phone became a part of the social context and in particular the way in which participants in a group or pair responded to the interruption of a mobile phone conversation is the central focus of the study.
From the Paper
"To help analyse the observations it is important that we have an understanding of the different identities involved in a telephone conversation and their role in progression. The terms used by most academics when analysing data are that of the ?caller?, ?answerer? and ?called?. Hutchby considers the answerer of the telephone call at a disadvantage. In Conversation and Technology he notes ?the caller knows who they are trying to call, and why they are doing so? the answerer knows nothing on either count? (Hutchby, 2001: 111). Whilst I support this model, I would like to propose that the extent to which this concept is true has changed with the invention of the mobile phone. The possibility to monitor then selectively answer or reject incoming calls by using the caller identification function featured on most mobile phones has changed the traditional role of answerer."

From the Paper
"For the need of healthcare industry, care providers have been implementing mobile health care projects, which provide inherent mobile workflow of the clinical environment, an absolute must for physician adoption and usage of any technology. Wireless mobile technology is definitely headed towards success in the healthcare industry owing to the technologies and benefits provided above. But we need to realize that organizational and cultural issues except for technology itself at the same time. For example, there are many articles describing the successful implementation of wireless technology in clinics and hospitals nationwide, some of them have been explored in this paper; however, there is also lack of studies measuring the Return on Investment (ROI) of implementing wireless mobile solution in healthcare. The few that exist have been conducted by the vendors of the wireless technology themselves and are likely to be biased on the positive side for obvious reason. Thus more researches and studies need to be conducted and more evidence needs to be gathered about the impact of wireless systems in healthcare."

Abstract
In this marketing summary of the B-Mobile German expansion project, the company B-Mobile explored the option to expand into the overseas cellular phone market. The writer assesses the German market and its characteristics. It focuses on the key strengths and opportunities for this project along with the key weaknesses and threats. It includes two charts. One summarizes the pertinent demographic information for the German population and the other shows the statistics of Germany?s economic indicators for 2001. After giving recommendations for the future, the writer concludes by suggesting that B-Mobile should seek to enter this market place but concentrate its first efforts on the untapped market of rental cell phones before entering the common market in a few years.
From the Paper
"B-Mobile began manufacturing cellular phones in 1994, operating primarily in the United States. They have experienced better growth rates and outperformed their competition in many areas. The cellular phone market in the United States has experienced exponential growth in the past ten years. However this has led to the formation of many small companies and there are very few new areas for expansion. All of the major metropolitan areas have reached market saturation and the business is expected to remain steady, but the growth rate previously experienced is not sustainable and the prospects for new clients dwindle. In order to continue its previous growth rates B-Mobile is exploring the prospects of expanding into other countries".
