Advances in wireless communications and information technology have made the mobile Web a reality. The mobile Web is the response to the need for anytime, anywhere access to information and services. Many wireless applications have already been deployed and are available to customers via their mobile phones and wirelessly connected PDAs (personal digital assistants). However, developing the “killer” wireless application is still a goal for the industry rather than a reality. One direction for developing such applications points to location-based services (LBSs). LBSs are services that are enhanced with and depend on information about a mobile station’s position. Location information by itself is not the ultimate service, but if location information is combined with content, useful services may be developed. These services offer the capability to users and machines to locate persons, vehicles, machines, and resources, as well as the possibility for users to track their own locations (GSM Association, 2003). The focus of this article is the analysis of the most critical success factors and challenges for LBS.

Before we dive into how the mobile communications industry has developed, it is important to understand the general background of this industry. In this chapter, the background of the mobile communications industry is explained including historical and technological conditions and major actor groups as a foundation to approach the cases that are presented in chapter 5, 6, 7, and 8.

Coming generations of engineering graduates and researchers will be expected to develop an integral set of skills to adapt themselves to the mobile communications industry and market expectations. To meet these demands universities will need to collaborate and innovate in their education styles, research tools and processes. The evolution of remote experimentation and the availability of state-of-the-art mobile communications test systems bring new opportunities to this field, such as experimentation with Gigabit class LTE-A. In this paper we discuss how this equipment could be adopted for educational purposes and how it can be included in federated research environments.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify how adoption drivers change before and after key milestones of ICT product adoption (i.e. critical mass point (CMP) (adoption rate 16 percent), market saturation point (MSP) (50 percent) and new generation release point (NGRP)) based on actual subscriber data of the mobile communications industry that represents the ICT market, so that it has implications for the rejuvenation of ICT product adoption that has rarely been addressed in earlier studies. Design/methodology/approach – This study examined the overall characteristics of ICT product diffusion by tracking the actual patterns of US and Korean mobile market subscribers using the Bass diffusion model. Findings – This study found that innovation effects gain influences on ICT product diffusion after CMP, MSP and NGRP; imitators are becoming innovators by repeated rejuvenation experiences; and cultural differences have significant influences on imitators’ ICT product adoption, but not on innovators. Originality/value – These findings imply that rejuvenation enabled by technology innovation is a key success strategy to dominate the ICT market where the number of innovators, who have strong desires for new generation products, is constantly growing.
