Through the 1G and 2G mobile communications technology standardizations, the involved actors became smarter and were able to develop more sophisticated strategies. For the GSM camp, moving the whole GSM market to its favorable technology standard to control and dominate the market for the next generation mobile communications technology was extremely significant. In this situation, what could the actors in the GSM camp do? What could the CDMA camp and other actors who did not belong to either camp (actors in Japan and China) do? This chapter answers all these questions.

Adoption Of New Technology

In this article, we look at the determinants of the new technology adoption by consumers in the case of mobile telecommunications. The dynamic nature of the telecom industry is a result of the frequent technological change. Consumers witness different technology standards in mobile communications, starting from the first generation (1G) to second generation (2G) subsequently to third (3G) and now experiencing fourth (4G) in some countries such as Norway, Sweden, South Korea, and the USA including ours. The movement from one standard to the other has been predicted to be smooth as all of them are vertical substitutes for each other. Given the various dimensions such as price, requirements, utility and so on, these technology standards are not perfect substitutes. The article investigates the prospect of a new technology standard roll out in India. A survey of 400 mobile phone customers in metro telecom circles has been carried out for this purpose. The study applies structural equation modeling (SEM) and explores the adoption intention of this new technology among the respondents. Results show that the presence of low-cost alternatives that is the availability of a lower technology standard poses a significant hurdle to the adoption of new technology services.

The tremendous use of telecommunication services and the existence of various types of mobile devices and networks impose a huge need for a new technology that can integrate these devices and networks to provide adequate services and applications to satisfy the user’s needs. The new technology tries to eliminate all boundaries of telecommunications and leads to a universal approach that is able to demonstrate an easy and efficient technique to overcome all technical and managerial issues. This chapter, first, studies and analyzes the performance of existing mobile systems and their services and estimates the future aspects of next generation mobile communications. Second, a new approach is proposed and investigated. The new approach is based on using the abilities of satellite communications as part of the mobile communication systems. Such an approach introduces advanced communication solutions that could be set up anywhere/anytime subject to the existence of satellite coverage.

The Impact

During the development of the first generation (1G) mobile communications technologies, many organizations had not thought about standardizing a mobile communications technology. Due to the fact that a mobile communications market was regional and a network was run by a government agency or a monopoly organization, the standardization of a mobile communications technology was not occur to them. However, an interesting movement came from Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden), which was standardizing a mobile communications technology. This chapter reveals the standardizations of the first generation (1G) mobile communications technologies including the Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT) standard and the impact of the NMT standard on the history of the mobile communications technology standards.

Late Entrant

Based on the experience of the NMT standardization, some actors that had been involved in the NMT standardization (e.g., Ericsson) heavily participated in the standardization of a 2G mobile communications technology. They were successfully able to standardize the technology they pursued as the European mobile telecommunications technology standard. Considering all these European actors’ early efforts, it was not a surprise that the GSM standard (the European 2G mobile communications technology standard) expanded its territory. The surprise came from the evolution of CDMA. How could the late entrant, Qualcomm, be able to create and expand the CDMA market? This chapter reveals not only fiery competitions among actors to standardize GSM and CDMA but also conflicts between GSM and CDMA camps as a group.
