UKNM: Re: Mobile Commerce

[Anthony]

Dear all,


It's really fascinating to see so many different feedback and comments to

the topic "Mobile Commerce".  However, I find some contradicting views

within this forum and with other forums I visit.


Is WAP based on WML (simplied from XML) ?

Is i-Mode based on packets, so it's "always on" and hence cheaper ?

is i-Mode based on cHTML ?

How will Bluetooth help with the bandwidth problem ?

How would the telco consortium leverage their i-Mode technical and marketing

expertise in Europe ?

Will there really be a merged version of WAP and i-Mode by the two camps

without wasting loads of time and resources in Europe ?

Will the US be different from Europe like anything else ?


I know M-Commerce will definitely take off because Wireless has so much

potential benefits to offer (technically and commercially).  Can anyone

enlighten me as to what will really be needed for a successful take-off ?

Let's take a real-life scenario such as Mobile Banking which is very hot in

Europe at the moment.


Regards,


Anthony
