2. Harriman School Seminar: Wireless Strategy and Usage of Mobile Services, Gerrit Wolf, Wednesday, November 26, Noon, 304 Harriman Hall
Abstract: Mobile technology and service usage by U.S. students may differ from European and Asian students. U.S. students have grown up with the Internet on the desktop, while European and Asian students have led in usage of the mobile phone, which is now made the basis for mobile access to the Internet. We report an empirical assessment of mobile usage by U.S. students who use a variety of technological systems. Results support wireless strategy that considers personal versus organization user roles and free versus paid mobile services. Results also support the hypothesis that U.S. students are not phone centric in mobile usage but use fobs, PDAs, and laptops as well as phones to access the web. Choice of mobile technology and service depends on roles and costs.
