With development and deployment of information and telecommunication technologies integrated with lightweight mobile devices, pinpointing location on the move has become a common exercise. The integration of geospatial information and mobile Internet is simultaneity driven by market demands and technologies. Mobile Geographical Information Service extends unlimited information on the Internet and the powerful service functions of GIS to mobile devices users. Supported by 3G data technologies/services, Mobile GI Services create a new channel of business practice, and thousands of potential applications and services. A complete end-to-end mobile GI services solution is described for organizations interested in offering mobile GI services to consumer or business subscribers.

“…Topics investigated included the capabilities and applications of mobile technology (Casademont et al, 2004, Giaglis et al, 2004 or individual usage and adoption behavior (Campbell and Russo, 2003, Meso et al, 2005, Monk et al, 2004, Puuronen and Savolainen, 1997 such as consumer intentions in mobile commerce contexts (Zhang et al, 2006, Wang et al, 2006. However, these studies tended to simply evaluate technology impact on or relationship with various research contexts and, as expected, positive suggestions were predominantly made.…”

Cost efficiency has been a dominant perspective in the traditional IT literature. However, in complex technology and business environment, the widely recognized cost efficient assumption of information technology has been increasingly challenged. Drawing from a case study of wireless network implementation situated in a politically sensitive workplace, this paper provided practice insights for IT managers in today's networked economy. More specifically, stories experienced in the case study illustrated that despite well-calculated cost efficiency of wireless network infrastructure, the radical implementation process in the case organization encountered enormous challenges and opposition due to the fact that administrators failed to consider various stakeholders' positions and interests. Eventually, the implementation objectives and outcome were considerably undermined. Implications from this empirical case research reemphasized the significance of understanding political forces situated in any business environment where different stakeholders hold conflicting interests. Lessons learned from the case story further encouraged IT managers and policy makers to better strategize emerging information technology in general and wireless networks in particular as the whole global society and business environment are increasingly facing an emerging wireless world.
