“…For example, the “wireless application protocol” (WAP) standard developed by the WAP Forum (which later became the Open Handset Alliance) in the 1990s, while an important step, was limited from the outset by available devices, infrastructure, and the “wireless markup language.” While lack of devices and infrastructure reflected the tensions and fragmentation within the North American telecommunications market, the choice of programming language cut off developers from conventional HTML coding, thus presenting clear limitations on the possibilities of translating Web content into mobile-ready content. The WAP was deployed primarily by telecommunications service providers attempting to use mobile Internet connectivity to generate new revenue from services associated with the rollout of 2.5G infrastructure like enhanced data rates for global evolution (EDGE) and general packet radio service (GPRS; Dedrick et al, 2011; Kumar, Parimi, & Agrawal, 2003; Rysavy, 2000; Ure, 2002).…”

This paper traces linkages between the commoditization of the Web and what we call "app-centric media." By this we mean a media environment composed of a multitude of discrete-but-connected software applications and their associated protocols, platforms, frameworks, and institutions. The rapid growth of app-centric media, we argue, is directly dependent on the development and commercialization of the (mobile) Internet, as well as on the business models embedded in the development of key native app platforms such as iOS and Android.The emergence of app-centric media, particularly in relation to mobile media, is having a marked effect on conceptualizations of the Web. The prevailing rhetoric concerning the development of the mobile Internet and app-centric media employs imagery of autonomy, empowerment, and independence for both the users and producers of apps. We argue that the commoditization central to the commercial development of the mobile Internet evidences a fusion of neoliberal rhetoric valorizing worker autonomy, individual empowerment, and entrepreneurial independence, with a mode of production consonant with "cognitive capitalism" (Dyer-Witheford, 2014;Vercellone, 2007).Our analysis is divided into three sections. The first looks at the early development of the mobile Internet in relation to the accumulation strategies of cognitive capitalism including the structural importance of "value networks" and the "putting-out system"; the second deals with the commercialization models underpinning the two dominant app platforms, Apple's iOS and Android; the third addresses the development of HTML as a means of production and describes how HTML5 is framed as a prospectively

“…This is equally relevant to mobile data services. For example, the success of NTT DoCoMo's i-mode is primarily credited to its well-designed business model in action (Ratliff 2002) and the low adoption of WAP is argued to be mainly due to the absence of a feasible business model or its inappropriate configuration (Kumar et al 2003;Sigurdson 2001). Therefore, we consider the employment of business models, as a mediating construct between technological artifacts and the fulfilment of strategic outcomes, as highly applicable to mobile service design and engineering (see Figure 1).…”

Abstract. This paper addresses the design and engineering problem related to mobile data services. The aim of the research is to inform and advise mobile service design and engineering by looking at this issue from a rigorous and holistic perspective. To this aim, this paper develops an ontology based on business model thinking. The developed ontology identifies four primary dimensions in designing business models of mobile data services: value proposition, value network, value architecture, and value finance. Within these dimensions, 15 key design concepts are identified along with their interrelationships and rules in the telecommunication service business model domain and unambiguous semantics are produced. The developed ontology is of value to academics and practitioners alike, particularly those interested in strategic-oriented IS/IT and business developments in telecommunications. Employing the developed ontology would systemize mobile service engineering functions and make them more manageable, effective, and creative. The research approach to building the mobile service business model ontology essentially follows the design science paradigm. Within this paradigm, we incorporate a number of different research methods, so the employed methodology might be better characterized as a pluralist approach.

This paper presents an extension of a multimedia adaptation platform. The extension consists, in one hand, on the integration of UMTS users and the use of a new method for the recuperation of their profiles using IVR system, and on the other hand, introducing the user localization as a new element in the management of user's profiles for the adaptation platform.400 978-1-4244-3367-4/08/$25.00 ©2008 IEEE
