“…Technically, some first time users find it difficult to use basic functionalities of a mobile phone [45]. Depending on the technical aptitude of the user, some quickly grasps the technicalities but for some, it may remain a barrier to full usage of the phone [46], while others may remain unaware of all the services they can access from their phones [42].…”

Over the past ten years mobile phone technology have been adopted and become integrated into the daily lives of the larger South African population especially students at higher educational institutions (HEIs). Given the realities of South Africa, as a developing country where public information access can be unreliable or even non-existing in some areas, mobile phone access has become the preferred communication channel and most students have become mobile-centric. In contrast, the public provision of administrative and academic information by universities is mostly pc-centric. Against the background of the global drive towards equal access to learning opportunities, institutions in developing countries are challenged to provide access through technologies that are accessible, usable, scalable and sustainable. Therefore, there is a need at institutional level to develop strategies for providing mobile cellular technology access to services, content and interaction. Hence, the aim of this paper is to investigate the critical categories and their characteristics for providing content and services for facilitating students' private access and interaction through mobile cellular phone technology at HEIs. Literature analysis was used as the research strategy to propose a conceptual framework for categorising the provision of mobile centric information access and interaction at HEIs. The framework could be a useful tool for informing HEIs' ICT strategy when rolling out mobile phone information access and structuring policies.

“…No obstante y pese a ser estudios recientes, también se han tratado variables propias del marketing de relaciones, como la confianza, aunque no enmarcadas de manera explícita en un enfoque teórico concreto. Así, se ha resaltado la importancia de la confianza para la adopción del m-commerce por parte de los consumidores (Meng et al, 2008), las características y motivos del adoptante de servicios por móvil (Gilbert y Han, 2005;Pedersen, 2005;Hsu et al, 2007) o la intención de compra por móvil (Thorbjornsen et al, 2005).…”

New technologies have involved a great opportunity to improve business management. On the one hand, Internet is beginning to be a selling channel that is valid and complementary of the traditional channel, apart from being a channel to search information and socialize. On the other hand and recently, mobile marketing is useful in a commercial sense: the mobile phone incorporates television, camera, radio, chat and now firms are introducing in the issue of advertising and in other regions in selling through the mobile phone. In spite of the increasing number of studies on traditional distribution and on electronic commerce, the studies that explore the possibilities and challenges of the mobile telephone and that compare it with Internet as buying and selling channels are scarce. The goal of this study is to compare the situation of B2C buying and selling through Internet and through the mobile phone and the theoretical approaches applied in each case. This paper presents common advantages for consumers and firms in both buying and selling channels and also clear differences between them. Besides, this study revises the main approaches and determinants of the buying in each case.
