Douglas Lamont
The Age of M-Commerce
Conquering the Wireless World
Capstone, 2001
What's inside?
After E-commerce comes M-commerce.
Recommendation
Douglas Lamont, a member of IBM’s Mobile Computing Marketing Advisory Board, argues that wireless will completely supplant the fixed-wire Internet and will be the dominant way to surf, purchase and talk to your friends. Lamont even goes so far as to suggest investments: Nokia, Japan’s DoCoMo-AOL alliance and wireless infrastructure firms. He even explains why Europe and Japan lead the United States in wireless "m" (for mobile) commerce – because the U.S. has been slow to adopt a national wireless standard. getAbstract recommends this tech-literate book to anyone at all curious about the future of wireless technology and its implications.
