Abstract
Only yesterday we were being bombarded with concerns about the new millennium, focusing on Y2K and possibilities of major technological disasters. Now the new millennium is here and one if not the defining feature of this new millennium is the Internet in particular Internet based e-commerce. One after another more and more e-“somethings” are constantly appearing. The newest sensation though, is not an e-“something” rather the mobile Internet, m-commerce or the mobile version of e-commerce. What then is m-commerce and what can mobile commerce do? Concisely, m-commerce has the potential to deliver anything the Internet can offer plus it gives the added advantage of mobility as well as being extremely user friendly.
