Amor (also author of the 1999 The e-business (r)evolution) discusses why mobile commerce is more than an updated form of electronic commerce, and why it will require entirely new business strategies such as location-based products and services. He also discusses coming pervasive-computing systems such as home networks and virtual enterprise networks.
