“…They rejected, because of a lack of conclusive evidence, the claim that such environmental regulations tend to block innovation. In IT, Maeda, Amar, and Gibson (2006) argued that wireless telecommunications regulations, such as the frequency allocation policy and radio interface regulations, could block the efficient evolution of wireless services to an IP platform. Figure 2 offers a consumer-producer framework that dissects the role that regulations have played in driving product and process innovations in information security.…”

In an effort to protect end users from identity theft, policy makers have enacted numerous regulations that require organizations to acquire identity and access management (IAM) technologies. In this paper, the authors develop and validate a conceptual framework that captures the unique characteristics of information security regulations and their impact on demand for IAM technologies, and the innovation and market value of IAM firms. Using paired two-sample for means t-tests and the Chow test, the authors demonstrate that the annual changes in sales of IAM firms from 1998 to 2008 are higher than those of other information technology (IT) firms around the time that information security regulations were enacted. The vector autoregression analyses show that IAM innovation is demand-driven, consistent with Schmookler’s “demand-pull” hypothesis, and has been positively valued by stock market investors. As such, our results demonstrate how policy makers can stimulate innovation and increase shareholder wealth by regulating IT consumers.

“…How to identify and meet consumers' needs based on their demographics, culture, and preferences are critical for success [18]. Finally, since mobile communications are typically controlled by government regulations, and mobile data services are delivered through the mobile communication infrastructure, the success of mobile data services also depends on these environmental factors [19][20].…”

Unknown to most North American consumers, a mobile data and Internet service in Japan called i-mode has been highly successful in that country for the past decade. Unfortunately, mobile data services in North America have lagged behind many European and Asian countries. However, the situation changed rapidly with the iPhone, launched in the US in June 2007. Consumers lined up for days for the chance to purchase one, and over 500,000 units sold on the first weekend. Since that time, over 42 million iPhones have been sold, arguably making it one of the most successful mobile phone products ever launched. What is it that makes the iPhone such a success? In this paper we define a set of success criteria to investigate the success of the iPhone and propose a comprehensive success model. The success model can be used by both academics and practitioners to understand the reasons why, and ways to ensure that mobile data and commerce services become successful.

“…For voice communication specifically, different suppliers are able to offer landline, mobile and voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) as a result of technological convergence (Xavier and Ypsilanti, 2007;Gill, 2008), and it is possible to communicate with anyone in any part of the world using these different types of technologies (Hameria & Paatela, 2005). Thanks to multiple technologies it is possible to identify users automatically, even when their mobile is turned To guarantee a fair competitive environment in this sector, a strong regulatory policy should be developed for VoIP services because voice and data traffic in the IP networks look similar in their transmissions (Maeda et al, 2006). In the future, regulation will have to address how to harness technological advancements to deliver public benefits, as well as to avoid market failure.…”

This manuscript discusses a theoretical competitive scenario for telecommunications services, in particular voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), and finds that the economic benefits of the current technological convergence are based on three main factors: technological advances and updates; regulation failures related to technological complexity; and consumer inability to exploit the benefits of convergence. This study begins by giving the background to voice communication in the telecommunications sector and the misunderstanding of the competitive boundaries between technologies, service providers, and usage applications generated in an unregulated sector. Second, the kinds of regulation that organizes the development and pricing of integrated or bundled services are briefly discussed and presented. Third, theoretical analysis of the competitive environment is interpreted in terms of the three factors: technological advances, regulation failure, and consumer knowledge of convergence. Results derived from these factors are presented in the context of VoIP services. Finally, the work concludes by outlining the implications for regulatory reform and the impact on competitive behavior, and describes possibilities for the future management of the technology sector.
