Description

A workshop presented by The Mobile Data Association & Digital Communications Knowledge Transfer Network.

Introduction
Electronic transactions have been with us for some time and most people are now comfortable with the payment for goods or services over the Internet. As with all communications, there are risks and there have been scams, however, the industry has learnt its lessons and has moved forwards and the public at large is well protected. Technology moves on and we are now entering the era of payments via the mobile phone, laptop computers and other handheld devices connected by wireless means. Wireless technology brings an additional set of issues to consider and this workshop will look at these in the context of what has already been learnt in the fixed-line domain.

This workshop will help you to understand the issues raised for:

Companies deploying mobile phones and WiFi terminals
Financial businesses looking at offering mobile payments
Handset manufacturers and the issues on the phone
Service Providers and the issues in the supply chain
Network Operators and the areas needing special attention to detail
Legislators and the need to ensure consumer protection while maintaining opportunities for growth
