    AN OVERVIEW OF TODAY’S AND TOMORROW’S M- COMMERCE IN THE NETHERLANDS AND EUROPE Hong-Vu Dang BMI Paper AN OVERVIEW OF TODAY’S AND TOMORROW’S M- COMMERCE IN THE NETHERLANDS AND EUROPE Hong-Vu Dang BMI Paper Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Faculty of Sciences Business Mathematics and Informatics De Boelelaan 1081a 1081 HV Amsterdam www.few.vu.nl August 2006 PREFACE A part of the masters programme of the study that I am following, Business Mathematics & Informatics (BMI) at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, is writing a BMI paper. In this paper a problem in the field of BMI is assessed using existing literature. The subjects addressed in this paper are the past, present and future developments of the relatively new phenomenon called m-commerce. Developments discussed will be from a technological perspective as well as a business perspective. I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. S. Bhulai of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam for his guidance while I was writing this paper. Hong-Vu Dang BMI paper: An Overview Of Today’s And Tomorrow’s M-Commerce In The Netherlands And Europe ABSTRACT This paper explains: • What m-commerce is: in a nutshell, it is commerce using a mobile device such as a hand-held device or a smart phone; • What it is used for: currently, m-commerce in Europe mainly consists of messaging, such as SMS, and mobile entertainment (think of ringtones, wallpapers, and mobile games); • What technology is involved with m-commerce: this paper describes the history and future of mobile networks from 1G to 3G, and how other technologies can be used for m-commerce such as GPS, and Wi-Fi; • The business aspects of m-commerce: how much does it cost to enable m- commerce (for instance the costs of the European UMTS network) and how much turnover is made.

  • Reliance Industries and Reliance Communications Sign Telecom Tower Pact
    Reliance Industries and Reliance Communications Sign Telecom Tower Pact The Ambani brothers have signed a mega deal to share mobile telecom towers. The agreement would permit Reliance Jio Infocomm, a subsidiary of Mukesh Ambani's, Reliance Industries Limited to rent 45000 telecom towers of Anil's Reliance Communications for a period of 15 years. Reliance Jio Infocomm will pay Rs. 12000 crores to Reliance Communication for this lease, which translates to around Rs. 14000-15000 per tower per month. The deal is a win-win for both the companies as it provides a regular income stream for Reliance Comunications and a quicker and economical network capability to Reliance Jio Infocomm when it rolls out its 4G services. Reliance Jio Infocomm could commence occupying some of the towers in the next six months. As per the market sources, Reliance Jio Infocomm did a hard bargain as the prevailing market rental value for a telecom tower ranges around Rs. 25000 - 30000 per month. Reliance Communication will use a large part of the proceeds to retire debt. It has an outstanding debt of around Rs 39,000 crores. This is the second telecom business deal between the two Ambani brothers. Earlier, in April this year these two companies had signed a Rs. 1200 crore pact to share the optic fibre network for carrying call traffic across the country. According to Gurdeep Singh - chief executive (mobility), Reliance Communications, it is possible that these two firms will sign more deals that are mutually beneficial. Synergies in telecom operations appear to have brought the two family factions together.
