The Internet has created a powerful new business channel that has profoundly impacted traditional business models, but while the Internet has become a common part of everyday life for many consumers, its access is limited via wired devices such as desktop computers and television set-top boxes, which are not easily transported from place to place. M-commerce will set users free from their wired existence and increase personal productivity by moving desktop Internet applications onto mobile devices.
