There are approximately 1.7 billion females who are not connected to the Internet in low income as well as middle income countries (Kelly et al, 2017).

This study utilizes the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) to identify the factors affecting the adoption and use of mobile Internet in the Malaysian suburban context. Seven key constructs comprise performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, price value and habit are used for the investigation. Gender is hypothesized to moderate the effects of the factors on behavioural intention and use behaviour. A self-administered questionnaire was adopted and a total of 403 usable responses were employed for the analysis, using partial least squares structural equation modelling. The findings of the analysis revealed that all key constructs (except social influence) affect mobile Internet adoption among suburban users. Gender was found to moderate the relationships among effort expectancy, social influence, hedonic motivation, price value, habit, and behavioural intention. Importance-performance map analysis for gender also demonstrated that awareness needs to be created for all factors (except price value) with slightly different weights for all factors. These findings provide crucial implications for mobile Internet service providers to formulate their strategies for suburban users. This study represents one of the few attempts to reveal the behavioural intention and use behaviour for mobile Internet among Malaysian suburban users by taking gender into consideration.
