M-commerce
What is M-commerce?
The mobile phone has been a connecting technology of immense impact on human life. When the mobile device is used for financial transactions - buying, selling, or transferring, then you have m-commerce. And while many people lack access to banking, especially in the less prosperous markets, they do have mobile phones and are using them to improve their lives.
