Abstract
The paper discusses how the mobile phone is a media source, growing and changing continuously and providing information, music and images. The paper analyzes how mobile phones are no longer used for communication alone, instead consumers use phones to take pictures, conduct business, pay bills or research reports. The paper further analyzes how because the industry has a highly lucrative market, prestigious and well known companies, such as Nokia and Motorola compete for profits in the market. The paper concludes that, while each company in the playing field has its own strengths, Nokia has consistently emerged as the leader in the mobile phone manufacturing arena.

"The field of Telecommunications can be described as a science and a technology (Kleiner and Polak, 2001). The science it particular describes is the science of communication over distances of electronic waves (Kleiner and Polak, 2001). Telecommunication can occur through cables and telephones, through radio or televisions (Kleiner and Polak, 2001). The telecommunications industry is ever changing, described best by fierce competition and state of the art technology (Kleiner and Polak, 2001)."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the structure and external factors that effect the mobile phone industry in Europe. It explains that Denmark provides an excellent example to examine the effects of price competition. Research finds that deregulation weakens the position of traditional price leaders and that new competition unseats them, if they use innovative business models. The author makes predictions about how deregulation will affect the markets in other countries using Denmark as a model. It claims that theoretical models were able to accurately predict behavior among price leaders and followers in a saturated market. The paper offers graphic representation to qualify points made.

From the Paper
"This model examined price leadership and followers in the mobile phone industry. However, other studies have found the same behavior and results in the online discount book market as well (Clay, Ouyang, Smith, and Wolff, 2002). The online airline industry is another example of similar pricing effects. This industry has been severely damaged by deep discount price wars. It faces similar price constraints and entry barriers as the mobile phone industry. The airline industry is another excellent example of the effect of price wars in a market that is oligopolistic in nature (Clemons, Hann, and Hitt, 2002). If these examples are any indication, it may be that the days of fixed pricing are a thing of the past (Cortese, 1998). "

Mobile Phone Users, 2005.
A small observational study of mobile phone users.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This study focuses upon observations of mobile phone use and the ways in which users employ their mobile phones while socially involved in a group or pair. The controversial technological determinist Marshall McLuhan claimed that ?all media work us over completely? (McLuhan, 2001:26). The aim of this paper is to investigate to what extent this is true with regard to the mobile phone and to look at how users select calls when in the presence of others using the affordances and constraints of the technology. The degree to which the mobile phone became a part of the social context and in particular the way in which participants in a group or pair responded to the interruption of a mobile phone conversation is the central focus of the study.
From the Paper
"To help analyse the observations it is important that we have an understanding of the different identities involved in a telephone conversation and their role in progression. The terms used by most academics when analysing data are that of the ?caller?, ?answerer? and ?called?. Hutchby considers the answerer of the telephone call at a disadvantage. In Conversation and Technology he notes ?the caller knows who they are trying to call, and why they are doing so? the answerer knows nothing on either count? (Hutchby, 2001: 111). Whilst I support this model, I would like to propose that the extent to which this concept is true has changed with the invention of the mobile phone. The possibility to monitor then selectively answer or reject incoming calls by using the caller identification function featured on most mobile phones has changed the traditional role of answerer."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Sprint's size and product diversity (including its wireless service) enables it to engage in the price wars which have resulted in increased market share. In this way, it has benefitted from economies of scale which are driving the cost of long distance service so low as to be nearly negligible. Long distance companies such as Sprint and AT&T spend considerable amounts of money marketing and protecting their long distance markets and much of what consumers spend on long distance goes to support this so-called "billing" relationship (Jenkins, 1999, p. A31)."

Satellite Mobile Phones, 2002.
Discusses a strategy for marketing satellite mobile phones.
1,834 words (approx. 7.3 pages), 11 sources, APA, £ 40.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Iridium LLC, the world's first global satellite phone and paging company created an expensive network of 66 low-earth orbiting satellites, combined with terrestrial cellular systems, which enabled customers to communicate virtually anywhere in the world using one phone and pager, one phone number and one monthly bill. This paper discusses how satellite mobile phones work. It then discusses the failure and bankruptcy of Iridium and proposes an alternative marketing strategy.
From the Paper
"One of the current problems with satellite phones is that they require direct line-of-sight with a satellite, which means that it may be difficult to use them in buildings, especially modern ones which contain a lot of metal. Because of this, satellite phones will essentially provide an outdoor, rural service. They will be complementary to land based cellular systems and not competition for them."

Abstract
This paper makes the case that the convenience that mobile phones provide is not worth the many drawbacks they bring with them: physical danger, accidents, health issues, intrusion, social isolation, eroding of relationships, and privacy concerns.
From the Paper
"We would all be much better off without mobile phones. Although the convenience of being able to call from any location at any time is undeniable, the impact of mobile phones on our lifestyles and our health is predominantly negative. Mobile phones are potentially one of the most dangerous devices on the market today and yet even children use them. Many consumers are not aware that a significant number of mobile phones explode during use. Curtis Sathre said it was like a bomb going..."

The Diffusion of Mobile Service Platforms, 2003.
Examines why Finnish consumers buy mobile phones.
3,512 words (approx. 14.0 pages), 23 sources, MLA, £ 68.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The future of mobile telephony is closely linked to services. Users are required to purchase new phones with new technical features for the large-scale diffusion of service platforms and the adoption of increasingly advanced services. The survey in this paper indicates, however, that services are not such an important reason for consumer purchases of new mobile phones. In this paper, the authors have chosen a different approach, in which they look at the reasons consumers have bought their recent mobile phones in Finland. Instead of relying on the hopes and expectations of the future, they focus on individual consumer interpretations of past behavior. The paper, first, briefly describes the peculiarities of the Finnish mobile market.Then it looks at how the survey was carried out and what kinds of results were obtained. Finally it discusses the relevance of the results for the evolution of mobile services. The paper includes tables.

From the Paper
"The visions of mobile telephony are closely linked to services, gaming, multimedia and mCommerce. For the large scale diffusion of these innovations and applications, users are required to purchase new phones with new features (Kalakota & Robinson 2002, Lindmark 2002). GPRS, Java and Symbian applications are new parts of the contemporary infrastructure in Europe, but even this infrastructure is going to evolve rapidly in the near future. This means that a user with a phone bought today is not likely to be able to take full advantage of the state-of-the-art mobile features and services a few years from now. Correspondingly, the new features and services will not be commercially successful if only few consumers purchase appropriate phones."

Cellular Phones in Japan, 2004.
This paper compares the cell phone industry in Japan with the cell phone industry in the United States.

Abstract
This paper explains that the cell phone technology within the United States is in its infancy compared to the Japanese, who are so enamored of their cell phones and new cell phone technologies that Japanese companies are striving to create novel and powerful products to keep pace with the overwhelming demand. The author points out that, within the United States, cell phones are still regarded as a ?safety? or practical device mainly for use when one gets a flat tire or needs to remind junior to come home to do his homework; the Japanese, in contrast, realize that their phones offer them a whole world beyond simple ?calling?.The paper relates that Japanese consumers have virtually no problem receiving or sending phone signals anywhere in Japan because, unlike the United States, Japanese cellular companies scatter what is known as ?micro cells?, or mini-transmission stations, throughout the country to fill difficult coverage areas such as parking garages or the highest point of Mount Fuji.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Of course, by far the most interesting technology to the average consumer is the newest development on the Japanese cell phone scene?namely, what is known as ?Cell-Phone Wallet.? Today, even in the United States, much of the world is moving to a system of payment in which actual cash is not utilized. Instead, growing numbers of individuals and businesses are doing business electronically via debit and credit card transactions. Due to this reality in which essentially the entire consumer transaction is done via computer, phone, and internet connections, it only makes sense to incorporate the cellular phone into the mix. Japanese cell phone manufacturers are doing just that."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the development of the cell phone industry. The author points out aspects of the industry that affect pricing and how how the company has responded to these elements. The paper suggests the company's future strategy to keep ahead of the competition, with the main element being the increase in the number of subscribers, which would allow for lower prices due to economies of scale.
From the Paper
T'he organization analyzed here is T-Mobile, a leading provider of cell phones and cell phone service and a company that advertises its services widely. At one time, mobile telephones, which then operated on a very different basis, were the province only of the rich. Since then, cellular technology has become the standard, providing a way for hand-held mobile telephony for every individual so that a signal can be received and transferred to another cell system or to the regular telephone service in a way that is more affordable to a wider range of people. As a result, more and more private consumers are buying and using this technology. The company is based in Bellevue, Washington and is today one of the fastest growing wireless service providers, one of the first with a global brand name ("About Our Company", 2005, paras. 1-2). The utility of the cell phone is high to the immediate consumer.'

Abstract
This paper discusses that the major concern is that the electromagnetic waves, or the EM, ultimately may cause cancer. The author points out that the energy generated from mobile phones is called non-ionizing because they are said to have photon energy to remove atoms from living tissues, which may cause a lot of serious biological problems. The paper concludes that various studies conducted to evaluate this situation state that there is no real connection between the usage of cell phones and the cause of cancer.
From the Paper
"The non-ionization of molecules has been always associated with the biological affects of X-rays. When the frequency is lower, such as that of visible light, the RF and the MW is very low to be able to disorder chemical bonds. This electromagnetic spectrum is called as non-ionizing. Since this non-ionizing electromagnetic energy cannot break chemical bonds there is no relation between these and the non-ionizing electromagnetic rays. But it is true that this non-ionizing electromagnetic energy can cause certain biological effects and the biological effects of these soft UV, visible and IR frequencies all rely on the photon energy that is emitted. But most of these consist of electronic excitation rather than ionization and most of these also do not occur at a frequency less than 3*10^11 Hz in terms of IR. These RF and MW radiations can cause heating in tissues in which they are in direct contact. It is the frequency of the source that determines the amount and the direction of the object being heated. The AM radio uses a frequency which is much below, 10^6 Hz, here the energy level is very low, and hence cannot cause any sort of damage to the human body or to animals."
