“…From this perspective, it is seen that the universal construct has not been sufficiently researched in the literature. Research on universality seems to have dealt mostly with the issues of necessity (Klemm & Wallace, 2017), demographic factors (Heller et al, 2001), ethics (Bohn et al, 2005), education (Glavinic et al, 2008;Tsai, 2016), and multifunctional usage (Arruda Filho, 2022). However, the fact that devices might have problems in switching between connections and that some devices are limited to performing only certain functions can create significant obstacles.…”

The last few decades have witnessed a drastic change in the nature of commerce due to the development of ubiquitous computingtechnologies. E-commerce has evolved to an ultimate stage that is called u-commerce. This study seeks to provide an understandingof consumer satisfaction and trust in u-commerce characteristics. Thus, the research examined how u-constructs affect satisfaction and trust from the mobile banking perspective. Ubiquity, uniqueness, universality, and unison comprise the characteristic featuresrepresented as u-constructs. In this study, a total of 1012 samples were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results showed that characteristics of ubiquity and universality have positive effects on customer satisfaction, yet they do not have any effect on trust. It was also found that uniqueness and unison have positive effects on trust and that trust has a positive effect on satisfaction. This study contains some theoretical and practical implications for researchers and practitioners who are interested in u-commerce and improving customer satisfaction.

“…Families in various socioeconomic circumstances tend to have different levels of access to such amenities, which inevitably affects students' access to digital resources and causes a digital divide to develop between families with personal computers and those that cannot afford them [21]. Reflecting a typical mobile learning method, smartphone terminals have enhanced the convenience and accessibility of mobile online education [22]. When students lack personal computers and smartphones, it is difficult for them to participate in online education at home without external help from neighbors, communities, and local government [20].…”

This study is an exploration of the digital divide between urban and rural areas, and it was conducted to assess the impact of the minimum living guarantee system on online education in China. The results of the research showed that 83.38% of students in low-income families have been able to participate in online education at home during the pandemic, while 16.62% of students in low-income families have been unable to do so. The absence of computers, smartphones, and broadband Internet access in low-income households reduces the likelihood of children being able to participate in online education at home. In terms of accessing online education at home, students from urban areas have obvious advantages over those from rural ones, and students from minimum living guarantee families have obvious advantages over those from marginal minimum living guarantee ones. This study also showed that the presence of online education-related amenities, including computers, smartphones, and Internet access, mediates the relationship between the subsistence allowance system, Hukou, and accessibility of online education. To address this issue, this paper includes suggestions for bridging the digital divide in online education.
