The explosive growth of mobile Internet services in Japan has generated great interest in understanding the reason for success. Given that the diffusion ratios of these services differ according to the countries, some studies suggest that a series of requirements must be met, and others propose that culture is one of the main factors. In addition, it is important to mention that research work to develop a model that integrates the elements that intervene in the supply and demand of these services and help us understand the reason for their adoption are still scarce. To reduce this gap, the objective of this article is to propose an integral model from the point of view of the demand and supply of the elements that intervene in the adoption of these services. For its development, a set of theories is considered: dissemination of innovations, electronic commerce, and mobile commerce, use o...

Advances in the Internet and wireless networks and the rapid growth in the number of mobile devices have resulted in the accelerated growth of mobile commerce. We consider mobile commerce as a subset of electronic commerce in which transactions are made using a mobile terminal and a wireless network. The user of mobile equipment and its requirements play a role in the development of mobile commerce in addition to technological development and the development of regulatory frameworks. This document addresses the requirements for mobile commerce in addition to technological development and the development of regulatory frameworks. This document addresses the requirements for mobile commerce in a systematic way. First it establishes the mobile commerce scenario by reviewing basic concepts and requirements. Then it introduces a previously published metamodel that consists of four areas of in...

Los avances en Internet y redes inaldmbricas y el rapido crecimiento del ntimero de equipos moviles han resultado en el crecimiento acelerado del comercio movil. Consideramos el comercio mévil como un subconjunto del comercio electrénico en el que las transacciones se realizan utilizando un terminal movil y una red inalambrica. El usuario de equipos moviles y sus requerimientos juegan un rol en el desarrollo del comercio movil, en adicion al desarrollo tecnolégico y el desarrollo de los marcos regulatorios. Este documento aborda los requerimientos para el comercio moévil de un modo sistemdtico. Primero, establece el escenario del comercio movil revisando los conceptos y requerimientos bdsicos. Luego introduce un metamodelo publicado con anterioridad y consistente en cuatro esferas de interés: marcos regulatorios, modelos de negocios, infraestructura global y tecnologias de apoyo. Lo...
