Using an existing large-scale realistic discrete event simulation model of a mobile distributed system we model the infrastructure and dependencies of 2G, 3G and 4G mobile data networks. We investigate the effects of the different network generations and of transitioning connections between networks on the typical behaviour of the distributed system. In particular we enable the model to simulate regional...
While the importance of tourist loyalty has been recognized by academic researchers for at least four decades, adequate tourist loyalty models have not been developed or validated. This study presents a tourist loyalty model of tourism mobile commerce and explores the relationship of service quality, tourist satisfaction, tourist trust and tourist loyalty. The structural model was tested on a sample...
In the mobile communications market, the homogeneity phenomenon of product's service appears. The paper combines the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Switching Cost Theory to construct the Convert Selection Model about the mobile communication services for users, which mainly analyzed from five dimensions: perceived switching costs, differences in perceived usefulness, differences in perceived...
In recent years, a lot of mobile payment service providers entered the market and often left it without any success. They have often disregarded the high complexity of the ecosystem and of the particularities of mobile communication techniques. The contribution of this paper is to understand the determinants of customer acceptance of mobile payment especially the influence of payment scenarios. For...
Taking into account the attractive prospect of the Internet, more and more service providers provide offline and online services simultaneously. At the same time, there are many online service providers who only provide online services. But the adoption of online services, especial for online transaction services develops slowly. This study selects the online banking as the research object and explores...
Based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this paper is the first one which research consumers' using intention of mobile reading. Multiple regression analysis is used to analyze effects to Chinese consumers' intention and attitudes on using mobile reading by perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived behavioral control, perceived entertainment, perceived payment and subjective norms...
This study based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) and theory of planned behaviour (TPB) presents an extended TAM that integrates trust related construct (dasiaperceived credibilitypsila) and two resource-related constructs (dasiaperceived self-efficacypsila and dasiaperceived costpsila) into the TAM to analyzing adoption behavior of mobile commerce (MC). The proposed model was empirically...
Third generation of mobile technology (3G), being an instantaneous communication medium, is related to mobile commerce (MC) and this has grown rapidly and spread around the globe. IT researchers often place their focus on users' acceptance and its antecedents. Yet factors that influence satisfaction in MC are rarely seen. Viewing 3G service as a mobile technology, this paper has applied technology...
With an increased focus on national security and public safety communications, the US Congress revisited its plan to reclaim television broadcaster frequencies to be reallocated and auctioned by the FCC and it specifically allocated a portion of that spectrum for use by public safety. The FCC was charged with the duty of auctioning this spectrum and licensing it to create a public safety network....
