Somewhat behind in the mobile telephony adoption than leading European and Asian markets, the U.S. market caught up in the 2000s. While simple types of mobile data services — such as messaging and downloads — had made some headway, the preexisting popularity of PC-based Internet made the U.S. users somewhat resistant to m-commerce offerings that did not match the richness of PC e-commerce. By the mid-2000s, however, network and technological capabilities were in place to usher in rich, new m-commerce offerings in U.S. markets. By taking advantage of new technologies, the U.S. mobile industry had the opportunity to become an innovator in m-commerce offerings.

New Framework

Recent research has shown how new mobile networked environments have added new complexity to the notion of “place”, now considered as an important concept in the context of technology adoption and the usage of mobile technologies, applications and services. The aim of this paper is to propose a new framework to gain insight into the usage behaviour of mobile data services and applications. A model of place was generated, adopting the humanistic geographical perspective as represented by the four “layers of place” introduced by Tuan's theory, which can be served as a sensitizing device in order to interpret and analyse the collected data. The model has been applied on an observational field study which tried to explore, understand and highlight the role of place in the decision of the people to use mobile data services. The model assisted researchers to show that the end users' decision to start using mobile data services has been influenced and triggered by their experience of place. This highlights the value of the proposed new framework of understanding users' interaction with their surrounding environment when adopting new technologies and using mobile data services.

The Impact

We are experiencing a revolution in the mobile industry as 3G transition is being realized globally. This represents a shift from voice driven services to multimedia driven ones. Worldwide subscriber number is reported to reach 700 million. This chapter will explore how governments and businesses impact this phenomenon with their policies and strategies. To be able to understand variations and to generalize conclusions, the authors looked at economies at different stages of transition. They explored US as the major economic power and then Korea as a country that reached the status of a developed nation recently and China that has been growing at an exponential rate. The comparison results reveal that the mobile data services have been developing better in South Korea and China than in the US. Mobile data services can be a large potential market and play an important strategic role in a national economy and society. A keystone strategy is effective to promote the diffusion of contents and applications for mobile services. It is important to lead customer consumptions and reach the balance between mobile data services and voice services. The experience from the three countries can provide significant insights for mobile operators in most other counties.

The COVID-19 global pandemic unprecedently disturbed the education system in the United States and lead to the closure of all planetariums that were providing immersive science communication. This situation motivates us to examine how accessible the planetarium facilities were before the pandemic. We investigate the most important socioeconomic and geographical factors that affect the planetarium accessibility using the U.S. Census Bureau data and the commute time to the nearest planetarium for each ZIP Code Tabulated Area. We show the magnitude of the effect of permanent closure of a fraction of planetariums. Our study can be informative for strategizing the pandemic response.

This study is an intersectional investigation of how the first two international Swedish superstars, Jenny Lind (1820–1887) and Christina Nilsson (1843–1921), performed gender, race, nationalism, and class during their respective tours of the United States of America in 1850–1852 and 1870–1872. The purpose is to chart early transatlantic performances of Nordic white femininity and Swedishness as well as to discuss the symbolical values and associations that it signaled. I will argue that Lind and Nilsson set out a template of idealized Nordic white femininity in the U.S. and that they contributed to the growing identity and self-awareness of Swedish-Americans.
