The m-Commerce industry is fast growing with estimates of reaching a user base of 1.3 billion people around the world by 2005, contributing to an overall market in excess of USD$22 billion. Industry players, ranging from network carriers to content providers hope to capture part of this revenue. However, early results were not up to the hyped expectations, due to a combination of reasons covered in this paper as technology limitations or consumer concerns to the various business applications outlined in Section 5. These concerns center on the issues of cost, speed, usability, security, and privacy. For m-Commerce to take off, all of these concerns will have to be effectively addressed and collaboration among all value network members is essential. It should also be noted that health concerns, although not linked to any particular application, pose another barrier for adoption of wireless technology. On this issue, the m-Commerce industry will need to clearly communicate any findings, so as to reduce fears of health hazards consequent of mobile device usage.
