This paper reports on a recently concluded empirical study into the development of Wireless E9-1-1 (emergency service) in Canada that initially focussed on privacy concerns raised in the context of an emerging location based service (LBS) for mobile phone users. In light of existing regulatory arrangements this paper concludes that in Canada the emerging Wireless E9-1-1 system establishes a reasonable level of protection for the privacy rights of mobile phone users who choose to contact emergency services. However, an important and surprising issue was raised in the proceedings regarding the obligation of wireless service providers offering prepaid mobile phone service to obtain verifiable subscriber records from their customers. This paper provides details regarding the issue and contributes a number of points to an emerging debate concerning the right to anonymity for customers who elect to use prepaid or other services provided over commercial networks.

India is considered to be one of the fastest growing markets for mobile phones. The National target plan was to have a 250 million subscriber base by December 2007 (DOT Annual report 2006–2007). Primarily, which was a mode of fashion and status in the urban rich of the society, is fast changing its role as a convenient networking tool and penetrating in to all parts of the society including urban poor and even to rich rural class. Mobile phone service providers play a major role in satisfying needs of customers. It is becoming increasingly important for the companies to understand the changing customers' need, attitude and behaviour towards mobile phone services in order to compete efficiently which may lead to higher market share. Past researches focused extensively on measuring consumer perception of quality and determinants of service quality (Parasuraman et al., 1988, etc.). Cronin and Taylor (1992, 1994) have investigated the conceptualization and measurement of service quality and suggested relationships among service quality, consumer satisfaction and purchase intentions. It was Gronroos in 1990, who mentioned about importance of flexibility as one of the determinants of service quality, which may be considered as extremely valuable determinant in the face of future expectations from mobile phone service providers. The objective of the present study was to understand the nature and importance of generic requirements, functional quality, flexibility, and price which may generate satisfaction in the minds of customers of mobile phone service providers. A survey was conducted with a sample of 277 respondents from the city of Kolkata, where 19 items were selected to measure their importance and attitudes towards the current brand of service providers. Suitable multivariate techniques were applied to infer important determinants of customer satisfaction and possible segmentations.

Online marketing communication covers a wide area and thus promotes an extensive reach of advertising to a broad audience. Hotels can achieve certain goals through online communication, mainly an increase of hotel awareness; an improvement of their image; and an increase in the level of customer satisfaction and trust, or brand loyalty. Measurement of the effectiveness of communication tools in the online environment is still a challenge, whether in the academic world or in the business world, mainly due to the complexity of this process. The main objective of this paper is to propose a methodology for implementing an indicator suitable for the evaluation of the effectiveness of online communication activities in the Slovak hotel industry. It uses analysis of the current usage of online marketing communication activities from the perspective of hotel service providers. The methodology should be applicable to support decision-making and actively support the sustainable development of hotels. In order to achieve the objective of the paper, the authors conducted a marketing survey focused on online marketing communication by Slovakian hotels to determine their use and to map the current state or methods of evaluating their effectiveness. Results of the research suggest that hotels in Slovakia perceive evaluating marketing communications online as being important, regardless of the size, length of operation, budget, and class of the hotel. They prefer financial metrics because they are a de facto manifestation of the traditional approach towards investment evaluation. The results also showed that return on investment is the most common metric for evaluating the investments of online communication activities, and that respondents expressed the highest level of confidence in this metric as well. In line with the results, we have proposed return on investment (ROI) as the most appropriate metric applicable in evaluation of the effectiveness of online communication tools.
