    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.

(Or WiFi-to-Cellular) 15 My resolv.conf gets overwritten on reboot 15 © Adafruit Industries https://learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi-as-an-ad-blocking-access-point Page 2 of 15 Overview This tutorial will show you how to use your Raspberry Pi as a WiFi access point that blocks ads by default for any devices using it. This is really neat in that it would work for your Android or iOS device, your Xbox 360, TiVo, laptop, and more without needing to customize any of those devices other than to use your Raspberry Pi as the access point for WiFi. Using an ad-blocker can be useful for conserving bandwidth, helping out low-power devices, or for keeping your sanity while browsing the web! © Adafruit Industries https://learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi-as-an-ad-blocking-access-point Page 3 of 15 I do suggest whitelisting your favorite ad-supported sites so that you can continue to support them (this tutorial shows how to do this as well). It's not easy keeping up with those wily ad serving companies so we'll also setup a way to keep your ad blocking lists up to date as part of this tutorial.
